Operations leadership with an IT foundation.
Building on the foundation I laid as a technology leader in some of Canada’s most competitive markets, I've made it a passion, not just a skill set, to take ownership of building or leading operations for mature and growing companies.
I’m also a freelance writer who helps customers find the information they want in a way they understand. My debut epic fantasy manuscript is actively being queried.

Leadership
Almost a decade of IT leadership built on a lifelong passion for helping people use technology to empower their work. From the fast-paced start-up world to established governmental corporations, I’ve managed budgets, vendors, projects, service frameworks, and the teams that deliver them.

A freelance writer published at AutoGuide, TechSpot, CarMax and CarFax. I write about how technology and cars interset while helping people make informed buying choices.

An epic fantasy complete at 107,000 words, and the first in a planned series. I am also building Wordsmithy, an app for writers.
