About Me
Right now, I'm working at Northfield IT, always looking to improve the way projects are managed across our teams and with our major North American sports and entertainment partner, the NFL.My previous job was as an Account Manager at Priceline Partner Network in Winnipeg, for key white label accounts including Spirit Airlines, Booking.com, and AmericanForcesTravel.com, the official U.S. Department of Defense leisure travel site.Before that, I was at Avenue 4, my role was loosely defined as "Digital Project Manager" at where I helped tie development, sales and management together for two technology products that are used by the some of the largest credit unions in Canada and biggest comic book publishers in North America.In the past, I've executed to directly create $6 million worth of revenue year-over-year for SkipTheDishes. I've helped scope and execute on dozens of effective website launches with powerful copy and strong design to increase lead generation and customer retention for companies across North America. I've planned and contributed to comprehensive email, mail, and social media strategies that have created thousands of new customers for Canadian businesses.It's possible that I say ‘yes’ to more things than I should.Outside of work, I keep active with ultimate frisbee, biking, and working out because one of the best ways to keep the mind healthy is to keep the body in motion. It also stems the never-ending tide of McDonald’s I eat and the amount of video games I play. If you have some time, ask me about League of Legends!I love learning new things and I'm almost always open to new conversations and knowledge from people who are enthusiastic about whatever they do.
Mental Health Advocacy -
A Critical Cause
I've written about my mental health experiences and the post has received over 150,000 lifetime views. I've spoken about my journey on CTV and Global, and the charity fund I helped start is a featured community fund for The Winnipeg Foundation.Our charity fund is called A Critical Cause, and we've done many 24-hour video game streams to raise money for mental health initiatives in Winnipeg. We've raised over $25,000 and have formed great relationships with game developers and businesses in our city.I have spoken at Pecha Kucha nights, fundraisers, high school and junior high classes, and events about my mental health journey. I believe we should have open and safe conversations about all health, and am available to speak at private and public engagements.
