On the Danforth Story
Part of the Book and Magazine Publishing Post Graduate Certificate Program at Centennial College
requires students to create a local, niche magazine for the Danforth area of Toronto (also known as Greek
Town). I pitched and wrote a story for the beauty section about natural, Greek beauty remedies, which
was featured in the Summer 2011 issue.

T.O.Night and the Globe & Mail’
As an Assistant Editor at TalentEgg.ca I had the opportunity to write for related publications and have
several stories picked up for publication by T.O. Night magazine and The Globe and Mail’s student
education portal GlobeCampus.ca. I also researched and wrote a small introduction about the current
state of Fine and Performing Arts job prospects for The Globe and Mail’s annual University Report.

Custom Magazine Design Project
An assignment from my design class in the Book and Magazine Publishing Post Graduate Certificate
Program was to layout an original magazine with a cover, table of contents, front of book page and feature
spread. I decided to create a fictional custom publication for Lululemon Athletica since it is such a lifestyle
focused brand.

Book Design Project
Another assignment from my design class in the Book and Magazine Publishing Program was to create
an original book cover with a table of contents and spread. Since celebrity chef Lynn Crawford has yet to
publish a cookbook I designed one for her using a mix of vintage elements and modern layouts.

OnTheDanforth.ca Online Magazine
As a part of the On The Danforth magazine project I took on the role of Online Editor-in-Chief for
OnTheDanforth.ca. I redesigned the website, set up a weekly publishing schedule and introduced social
media promotions and new advertising opportunities, which helped to nearly triple traffic to the website.

Type A Girls Online Magazine
As a part of my Online Magazines class at Centennial College I was required to work with a group to cre-
ate an online publication. Type A Girls, an homage to all things organizational, has a sleek, clean layout
with a simple banner I designed. I also wrote 5 articles and customized a matching Twitter account.

Social Media Content & Promotions
I first gained experience in social media promotions in 2009 when I created a report for the Ministry of
Natural Resources on the possible uses of such technologies in a communications strategy. Since then I
have created a number of promotional web videos for Sault College and targeted content for Facebook
pages and Twitter streams for Wilfrid Laurier University Student Publication’s and OnTheDanforth.ca.
