Professional Experience

I'm best known for my time as editor of WeedWeek Canada, a weekly cannabis-industry newsletter that ran from before legalization into the middle of the first pandemic year. Since 2017, I've covered cannabis news for Leafly, CannabisHealth, Herb, and Food Quality & Safety. Prior to that time, however, I spent 7 years covering Indigenous issues for a Northern Cree audience. I have also covered food safety and cybersecurity.
