Bio

I am a quality-driven and self-motivated writer, video and audio producer and editor, with the ability to simplify complex topics and translate them into digestible and easy-to-understand content. I hold a Bachelor degree in journalism, and am currently working towards a Master of Science in media management, as well as a certificate in digital arts.

My skills include, but aren't limited to: Research, writing articles (with interactive media), fact-checking, data analysis on spreadsheets and QGIS software, video production/editing, audio production/editing and more! I am also a very quick learner, so you won't have to spend too much time training me for skills that I do not already possess.

Healthcare Content Creation for Digital Publication

People are......health. They put much less faith in their doctors today than in any time in prior history, and are demanding options for treatment that go beyond simply a prescription for one more daily pill. There's a sense that there is more out there worthy of consideration, both within provincial medical systems, but also outside of it. A world of options exist - ranging from the dutifully tested to the anecdotal to the downright irresponsible, and with the added dimensions of DNA testing, genome sequencing, personal data collection and more, the Health Consumer is becoming more informed, enlightened and exposed to a myriad of choices - some of are here and others still yet to come. Our digital publication, The Health Insider (https://thehealthinsider.ca/ - a fully-owned subsidiary of RSRS) looks for the insider's perspective to find the answers to the important questions Health Consumers are asking.
