About Me
I am a writer and fact-checker whose work has appeared in Toronto Life, Post City Magazines, This Magazine, Now Toronto, Apartment Therapy, Curbed, and others. I write, edit, and coordinate content for Village Media, and was previously the associate editor at STOREYS. I tend to cover housing and the socioeconomic factors that shape it.
