Bio

I am a multidisciplinary professional with a background in life sciences and podiatry, with over five years of experience as a creative and strategic copywriter.

Passionate about health, innovation, and storytelling, I’ve worked across research, digital marketing, and brand development — helping purpose-driven companies connect with their audiences. I’m currently involved in entrepreneurship and digital strategy for health tech and fitness brands, combining analytical thinking with my natural creativity and leadership.

Based in Toronto, I’m always seeking new ways to elevate wellness, education, and community through intentional design and clear communication.
