Various publications and organizations

Preparing articles for print from the research and interview stages to polishing final copy. 

Not only do I get to do what I love– write– but through my heavily ag-focused work I also get to get to meet the amazing people all over the world who help put food on our tables, oh, and beer in our fridges!

I also provide freelance writing and communications services for other industries such as business, real estate, and academia. I love to research, hear what people are thinking and doing, and I'm committed to continuous learning. Basically, if you give me an assignment, I'll figure it out and turn it into a story, regardless of the subject.

Freelance Writer

PayShepherd

Supporting the PayShepherd team and their SaaS to help manufacturing, mining, and other heavy industrial sites manage vendor relationships, save millions annually, and continuously improve process efficiency.

We believe vendor relationships are the core of industrial success. Yet for too long, poor vendor management has left people comfortably uncomfortable, risk is off the charts and performance is not rewarded. An ancient, paper-heavy process is to blame.

As a result, hundreds of billions of $$$ per year is wasted and countless relationships ruined forever. PayShepherd’s vendor relationship management (VRM) solution is revolutionizing the path forward.

PayShepherd has built a unique technology that monitors vendor spend, contract compliance, and work performance daily. Establish a foundation of accountability, alignment and common language that leaves risk, surprise and uncertainty where they belong–in the past. 

Build excellence with exceptional relationships at your industrial worksite today with PayShepherd (https://www.payshepherd.com/demo).

Copy Editing Apprentice

Ever since I can remember, I've been obsessed with writing and passionate about hearing and sharing people's stories.

For over 10 years, my work's been heavily focused on Canadian agriculture and business, and I've loved every minute of it.

Right now, I'm especially excited by the tech wave swelling across Alberta. The talent and heart that's powering amazing AI and IA solutions that help make people's days better and businesses more profitable for the future, is a movement I'm diving into in my research and writing. It's a fantastic story to help tell.

In my free time, I'm passionate about food – cooking and eating it. I'm also a devoted CFL fan. Stampeders in 2024!!!
