I'm a freelance journalist, essayist, and cartoonist based in Montreal. My cartoons have appeared in the New Yorker and the Globe and Mail, and in 2025 I was nominated for a National Newspaper Award nomination for Editorial Cartooning. 

 

My written work, which focuses on health and pop culture, has appeared in the New York Times, the Globe and Mail, the Walrus,  Teen Vogue, and more. My essays on disability have been nominated for a Digital Publishing Award and won gold at the Canadian Online Publishing Awards.

​

I've also worked as a fact-checker and writer on a number of award-winning podcasts like Business Wars and Scamfluencers.

 

I finished my MFA in creative writing at the University of Guelph in 2023. My first book—Look Ma, No Hands: A Chronic Pain Memoir—is out with McClelland & Stewart on May 20, 2025.

​

I'm always open to new projects! I'm particularly interested in editorial cartooning opportunities and anything that blends writing with illustration. Note that, while I speak French and love doing French-language interviews, I do not write or work in it! ​​
