They say if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life – well, I’ve been “not working” since I was 15, when I first dipped my toes into magazine writing. But my love affair with marketing started even earlier, back in fourth grade when I created my first advertisement. Being the youngest of five siblings taught me an invaluable lesson: if you want to be heard, you need to communicate effectively. This early life training ground became the foundation for helping my clients build powerful brand awareness and lasting consumer loyalty.
Armed with a BA in Communications from Simon Fraser University, I turned my passion into purpose in 2011 when I founded my first social media company, which evolved into Vive Social + PR. With bustling offices in both Vancouver and Toronto, I’ve had the privilege of working across diverse industries, from real estate and hospitality to beauty, fashion, food, and fitness. Through my partnership with myWHY agency, I bring this rich tapestry of experience to craft compelling narratives that resonate across multiple channels.
My approach to marketing has caught the attention of some of North America’s most prestigious media outlets. I’m proud to say our clients’ stories have graced the pages and screens of The National Post, Entertainment Tonight, Elle Canada, FASHION, Forbes, Chatelaine, Fast Company, CTV, Global News, Daily Hive and more. But what really gets me excited? It’s not just about getting featured – it’s about crafting stories that matter and creating connections that last.
