I am a musician, songwriter, videographer, podcaster, and arts advocate based in Churchill, Manitoba. As the Northern Champions Coordinator with imagiNorthern, I work to support and expand the Northern Champions Network, helping artists, makers, and creative communities thrive. My role involves mentoring regional champions, supporting artist development, and helping grow the network's impact across the North.

I’m also an executive member of the Churchill Creative Collective, Churchill’s Winterruption Festival, Churchill Arts Council and Churchill Aurora Winterfest, where I help organize events, workshops, and performances. My passion lies in creating, performing, and lifting others up through the arts. I’ve been playing music for over 20 years, and my albums, Smiling Like a Sundog and an upcoming 2025 release, are inspired by the landscapes and stories of the North. I founded Churchill Entertainment, where I produce video content, live-stream events, and host the Churchill Chats Podcast to share local voices and perspectives.

Whether I’m performing live, documenting an event, or leading a workshop, I bring boundless energy and enthusiasm for creativity. My goal is to break down barriers to artistic expression and help others find new ways to share their stories.
