I’m a television host and producer, a TEDx host, and an award-winning print journalist.
In addition to hosting a live talk show in Ottawa, I write regularly for BBC World News, The Globe and Mail, ELLE, and every major daily newspaper in Canada.
I’ve published two children’s books, contributed to tourism guidebooks on Iceland and Chile, and co-edited an anthology of essays on Canada-European Union relations.
My work has taken me to 45 countries and provided opportunities such as interpreting for Mikhail Gorbachev’s entourage, interviewing Noam Chomsky and filming a documentary in the country of Georgia.
I speak fluent French and Russian, and hold degrees in international business, Russian studies, and journalism. I’ve lived and worked in Belgium, Japan, and across Canada.
