Editing & Proofreading
ATB Financial
I’ve written many articles for ATB’s business squad, proofread this financial institution’s annual and sustainability reports and written its style guides for brand and voice, inclusive language, content development and Indigenous content.
Benevity
As Benevity’s in-house editor, I was where the buck stopped, upholding the brand voice and ensuring editorial consistency and excellence. I worked with both its in-house and freelance writers, editing and proofreading everything the company put out, including emails, presentation decks, site copy, social media content, sales material and research reports.
Pursuit Collection
Pursuit’s mission is to connect people to iconic places through unforgettable, inspiring experiences. I've had the pleasure of travelling vicariously to these places through my writing and editing work on brochures and its annual sustainability report. I also developed the style guide for a menu system for Pursuit’s food and beverage operations.
Energyphile
For this brainchild of respected energy economist Peter Tertzakian, I’ve written marketing communications, site copy, social posts and blog content. I began working with Peter when the project was just a glint in his eye, through to launch and beyond, eventually running the whole show. I’ve also conducted research for, edited and proofread Peter’s writing, including his book The Investor Visit and Other Stories and his columns for the Financial Post.
University Pension Plan
University Pension Plan is a jointly sponsored, defined benefit pension plan for Ontario’s university sector. I edit or proofread its annual reports. As well, through its president and CEO, who sat on the federal Sustainable Finance Action Council, I proofread its Taxonomy Roadmap Report.
Dissolve
We had a lot of fun showing off the creative potential of stock footage and photography at Dissolve. As the content writer, I coordinated media relations for our many viral videos, including This Is a Generic Brand Video, and wrote all blog content, social posts and some saucy Mother’s Day memes. I also edited and proofread the work of Dissolve’s other writers, including marketing emails, direct mail pieces and videos.
Springboard Clinic
I worked closely with author Laura MacNiven and creative agency Daughter, editing and proofreading this invaluable, important workbook for adults living with ADHD.

Veer
In its day, Veer attracted a cult-like following of creatives, and I was lucky to work with a wickedly talented team on some wickedly creative pieces. I edited and proofread it all: emails, catalogues, direct mail pieces and type samples.
