With multiple 'hometowns' ranging from Ottawa to the Southern Ontario suburbs, I have carried my passion for fashion with me wherever I went. I spent the majority of my childhood devouring my mother's fashion magazines and watching Jeanne Beker's fashionable escapades on Fashion Television. My passion for both writing and reading has never ceased to burn out and it has now reached its peak. I graduated high school with an assortment of published work pertaining to the fashion industry under my belt and now live in the heart of downtown Toronto while studying at university.
I'm the girl who practically has an venti iced latte glued to her hand, who thinks she loses her sunglasses daily when they're perched on top of her head, who makes toast at midnight, and who has a genuine passion and interest for anything involving the world's most glamorous (although sometimes, not as glamorous as what meets the eye) industry.
My work has been featured in magazines and online including, but not limited to: Fashion Indie, Style Sample Magazine, String Magazine, Thirds Magazine, Entiled Youth and Pocket Change. I have collaborated with brands such as Spotted Moth, Rouge et Noir and Atrium NYC/IMPROVD. I previously acted as an Eastern Canada spokesperson for String Magazine (in regards to Canada's first TOPSHOP store) and have worked with marketing representatives from the New York City high-end boutique, Atrium NYC. It will be my job to promote IMPROVD, a clothing line designed by Atrium's owner, Sam Ben Avraham and Valentino Vettori that was launched during New York Fashion Week.
