Real excited to be joining @seleross at Maisy. I've loved this magazine for years, and I'm thrilled to have a chance to make my mark on it.
And writers, I don't even have a Maisonneuve email just yet, but please keep me in mind for story pitches — DMs are open. https://t.co/Lxtdg0GE1w

Today is my last day at @CityNews. I’ve been a journalist for over a decade – and always will be at heart – but it’s time for a twist in my own story. I’m very excited to announce that I’m joining the incredible team @Metrolinx. (2/3)

Some sad news to report: this week, I was laid off from my job at Xtra. I just want to thank my very talented coworkers, and especially the many, many LGBT folks from around Canada and the world who shared their stories with me these past three years.

Some personal news that’s actually professional news: in September I’ll be working with @CBCSask/@CBCSaskatoon as a reporter and associate producer! Nervous. Excited. Feeling pretty grateful.

Some personal news. Last week was my final one with the National Post. After 20 years, I decided to take a buyout and move on to new professional challenges, specifics to be determined.
