In more than a decade of journalism, my reporting has frequently focused on businesses, economics, fiscal policy, and corporate responsibility.
From highlighting innovation and best-practices in the environment or community, to investigating corporate misconduct or shareholder concerns, my work has been published in The Tyee, THIS Magazine, Briarpatch, Vancouver Observer, Gulf Islands Driftwood, and more.
Below are some samples from my business and economy portfolio.
