Ten years ago today – well, tonight – I worked my first shift at The Canadian Press. It's been a decade of personal and professional growth and I'm so grateful for all the cool assignments I've had for @CdnPress_Sports. Can't wait to see what my future holds at the People's Wire

In personal news, after nearly 15 years on the air, I’m taking a break to tackle a new challenge: motherhood… ❤️ So bye-bye for now to the QC bureau! Can’t wait to welcome a new baby to the @ctvmontreal family! P.S. This pic was taken months ago — my bump is much bigger now! 😉 pic.twitter.com/OTObcvehWF

Hello. What's that line… some blursonal news? Anyway, some news: today is my last day at CBC News. Hopefully you'll indulge me in a rare personal thread (which, yes, I already feel awkward about) pic.twitter.com/ettaGg2Pa8

In a media landscape where discussion of books is dwindling, CBC Arts has given me a monthly column to talk about… books. What I'm reading, what I'm thinking about it, its social context, etc. My first column is about Indigenous horror. Check it out:https://t.co/BsACNiP5Wt

1. After three years working with the immensely talented teams at Brunswick News I have decided to accept a new career opportunity (more on that to come!). Today is about celebrating the exceptional, Michener Award winning journalists who I’m privileged to have been able to lead.

Holy crow! It's official: I'm now @tvo's Northeastern Hubs reporter! Feeling ecstatic, shocked and a little nervous, but I'm thrilled to be making the move to Sudbury to bring you news about the North. You'll even catch me every once in a while on @TheAgenda.

Some personal news: Thrilled to be moving to the Globe & Mail to cover business and energy. The #ableg beat (and #skpoli before that) was a slice, but I’m incredibly excited for this new challenge.
Farewell, press gallery office. I’ll miss you and the marble bathrooms. pic.twitter.com/lYLiSbHqpo
