You never think it’ll happen to you, but this morning it did.
I’m gutted to be a part of this corporate restructuring after pouring myself into my work 24/7.
My time with Bell was short, but I’m proud of my stories and the people they represented.

Vancouver police officers are not authorized to wear the controversial thin blue line patch on their uniforms, according to a review by the department that was triggered by a complaint lodged by a citizen offended by the symbol.

Firefighters in Logan Lake deserve all the kudos tonight.
After a hard day, no structures have been lost.
“The sprinklers have worked great and the fight is far from over, it will be a long night we look forward to see you all very soon,” says fire rescue.
I've done some pretty amazing whale stories in my time. But this one takes the cake.

Today police officers in B.C. were supposed to finish a 130 km run to honour 130 officers killed on duty.
Now, it’s 131 km.
An additional kilometre to remember Const. O’Brien.

Thinking of each and every reporter in the interior as they race to cover this horrific wildfire season that truly doesn’t end.
Be kind to them, many are working OT, on little sleep and have been feeling fatigued for months.
It’s not easy and kind words go a long way.
The time to go is NOW.

I've chosen not to speak publicly about my stalkers, but just learned one of them has been sentenced to four years in prison.
This person sent me death threats, harassed me, made videos with my reporter images, approached people who knew me and threatened them.
Today marks 3 years as a reporter with Glacier Media!
I am truly so lucky for a newsroom that encourages my ideas and gives me the autonomy to cover things I deeply care about.
This career has never felt like work.
Here's to big stories & even bigger hair in 2024
This Vancouver driver was driving in the bus lane and speeding on Main Street in North Vancouver.
An RCMP officer saw them and they were given a $1,500 fine.
Wow.
Take a look at this photo from today and just how close with Tremont wildfire came to homes in Logan Lake.
Speechless. Imagine the planning and work to make this happen through thick smoke with a raging wildfire beside you.
Today is my one-year anniversary of living in Vancouver! 🫶🏻
It's also my two-year work anniversary at Glacier Media as a reporter. 🎤
To celebrate these great things, my rent is increasing today 🙃.
