FILMING A LIVE TO TAPE REPORT IN STUDIO
THE REPORTER & HOST
Whether it is Fashion Week or an International Film Festival, passion and drive shine through.
Research, collaborating, meticulous organizing and the ability to source a story have been the cornerstones to my reporting over the years.
Broadcast experience includes co-hosting national television shows, live to tape broadcasts, voice overs, editing, field reporting and hosting local television segments. I have also created and produced unique segments for television.
​
From highly emotive international political stories and celebrity drag performers to Emmy award winners, getting the story people want to see to deadline is something I live to do.

THE TV SHOW
'Bare It All' was the most incredible moment of my working career. To see my idea blossom into its own reality was something I will never forget.
​
The idea of the show came to me one evening walking home, and after many emails and pitches, I finally landed a segment on the Shaw Television Network.
CO-HOSTING TELEVISION SHOWS
Coast to coast and full of color, I have been delighted to co-host OUTlook TV on many occasions with Rebecca Whyman. Airing on OUT TV across North America, serious journalism and tongue in cheek reports make this show a talking point around the water cooler.

FASHION, FAME AND POLITICAL REPORTING
Whether its a queen from RuPauls Drag Race or an Emmy Award winner, I have been so fortunate to interview so many incredibly talented people for television.
Event coverage is competitive but fashion coverage is dog eat dog. In a world where everyone wants to be seen, negotiating and obtaining exclusive access backstage for three seasons was a dream come true.
FASHION WEEK
ABC's Good Morning America made Kevin Newman a household name, and there was no shortage of people wanting to interview this Emmy Award winner. He even gave my interview a thumbs up.
EMMY AWARD
Filming a two part report is tricky, but even more so when the two parts are 8,000 miles apart. Interviewing Irish ex-pats in North America, flying to Europe to report the story as it unfolds and then dashing back across the Atlantic to make the Friday deadline.
