What I read

I mostly read with my ears : ) Every day, I spend at least an hour listening to podcasts like StartUp, Reply All, This American Life, Millennial, & RISK!

Books-wise, I love Douglas Coupland, Nick Hornby, Chuck Klosterman, & Charles Bukowski.

Side projects

I guest lecture on community management & influencer relations at University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies a few times a year. I've also co-chaired communications for Toronto Taste, & managed content/sessions for PodCamp Toronto.

Ideal team

I'm very extraverted & outgoing, which makes me adaptable to most teams & styles. As long as the working relationship is discussed prior to getting off the ground, I'm happy to manage any project.
