Work Experience

Spot On Sustainability Podcast, Research Assistant. (Sept. 2025-Present)

As a Research Assistant for the Spot On Sustainability podcast, I serve as the producer for each episode. While collaborating with our host and editor, I help plan episode topics, reach out to potential guests, prepare appropriate questions and provide revision notes for the first drafts of episodes.

I also am responsible for uploading each episode of the podcast in a timely manner for listeners to access.

The Reflector, News Editor. (April 2024-Present)

After serving six months as a Staff Writer, I was elected as the News Editor for The Reflector-Mount Royal University's (MRU) independent student newspaper and digital news outlet. I was re-elected for the position in April 2025.

As the News Editor, I aimed to spotlight local stories to Calgary and MRU that concerned politics, current events, but occasionally ran stories on international affairs. I led a team of student writers from various disciplines to success by helping them find good ideas to pitch, showing them how to write in Canadian Press Style and ensured they got in high-quality stories to me on a timely manner.

Additionally, I spearheaded The Reflector's first newsletter: A Reflection. Sent out biweekly alongside the publication of our newspapers, A Reflection spotlights one story from each section and provides an additional online presence for the outlet.

The City of Calgary, Communications Summer Student. (April-August 2025)

For the last four months, I had the pleasure of working as a Communications Summer Student for the Community Strategies Communications Team at The City of Calgary.

The Community Strategies Business Unit is focused on fostering an inclusive, accessible and equitable Calgary. By working with inner-City departments, community partners, City services and the public. Community Strategies works on addressing strategies to help improve mental wellbeing, promote inclusion of diverse communities, remove systemic racism and enhance safety for all Calgarians.

While my role was away from the newsroom, it opened up a plethora of opportunities to learn new skills surrounding corporate communications and municipal government. I was able to dip my toes into drafting strategic communications plans, writing news releases and internal employee profiles, conducting interviews and reviewing social media campaigns.
