I’m a freelance writer, storyteller and content marketer, as well as an accessibility advocate, career advisor and educator.

Much of my work explores what it means to live and work with a disability. As a disabled writer, I often draw on my own experiences living with a stutter and being neurodivergent to tell stories about accessibility, employment and the barriers disabled people encounter in their everyday lives.

My work has appeared in a variety of publications, including the Toronto Star, the Globe and Mail, SUCCESS magazine, Broad Street Review, Broadview magazine, Quartz and The Muse. I’m also the author of an upcoming non-fiction book with McFarland & Company exploring the realities of navigating the workplace with a disability.

Beyond journalism, I’ve also used my writing chops to help brands tell their stories. I’ve worked with non-profit organizations such as The Learning Partnership and VHA Home HealthCare, as well as technology companies including Streampoint Solutions and Thentia, on public relations, communications and content marketing.

My interest in disability and employment extends beyond my writing. I’ve worked in accessibility services supporting post-secondary students with disabilities, consulted with organizations on accessibility and accessibility planning, and worked in career advising and job development with job seekers facing barriers to employment. These experiences have given me the opportunity to approach disability and employment from multiple perspectives — as a writer, practitioner, advocate and disabled person myself.

I also enjoy helping other people find and tell their own stories. As an educator, I currently teach the Content Creation course at Blanche Macdonald Centre in Vancouver.

When I’m not writing or teaching others how to write, I can be found performing stand-up and improv comedy. After taking classes at Second City, I fell in love with performing and I use it, in addition to writing, as a way to talk about disability.

I currently live in Montreal with my wife.
