Experience

Live News & Sports | Associate Director

I call every element into live news programmes (graphics, name keys, banners, voice-overs, clips) and run commercial breaks in real time, across 20+ hours of live shows a week.

I package and time out shows and live events to fit their broadcast windows, from pre-production with producers and editors through to delivery. I'm the QC checkpoint between creative, technical and editorial teams, fixing editing, graphics and timing before and during air, and I write segment notes for commentators.

I also manage music licensing and clearance for live and sports programmes, and build show lineups, commercial formats and sponsorship integrations.

* Edit Suite AD for Beijing 2022 & Paris 2024, and Control Room AD for Milano-Cortina 2026: over 6 hours live every day, reaching 30.5 million viewers in Canada.

Coordinator Associate Director

Backfill experience leading the behind-the-scenes coordination of CBC Sports, from pre-production meetings and show lineups to commercial integrations, sponsorships and music clearance.

Working closely with producers and technical teams, I make sure every element is editorially accurate, commercially aligned and ready for live TV and Streaming platforms (CBC Gem).
Senior Graphic Operator

I create and operate live TV graphics using Viz Trio and Viz Artist, collaborating with producers, video editors and ADs to bring broadcasts to life in real time.

In this role, I've worked on major national and international productions including Canadian & U.S. elections, the Eurovision contest, Royal events, CBC Sports live shows, the Commonwealth Games, the Giller Prize and Family Feud Canada.
Photography

I cover live events, festivals and concerts, with street photography as an ongoing practice.
