It’s been pretty quiet around here lately. Between double screens, long hours and to-do lists the length of my arm, there hasn’t been much time for blogging. But it’s all been coming down to this week, my friends. This, the last week of the semester. My students will be doing the big presentations and handing read more

Why Chris Hadfield is my favourite thing about social media right now
March 13, 2013 – 7:30 am
I think by now it should go without saying that I am a big fan of all things social media. Aside from the fact that the general field of social media is at the core of what I do professionally (I’m the director of social media and communications at Quinte Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine and read more
Better late than never: My review of PodCamp Toronto 2013
March 7, 2013 – 10:25 am
Well, at this point PodCamp Toronto has come and gone. I mean, seriously – it was almost a week and a half ago. It wasn’t my intention to wait this long to recap my experience and the more time that passed the more I wondered if it was even worth writing about anymore. Which isn’t read more
Of PodCamp and iPads
February 21, 2013 – 7:09 pm
I’m going to go ahead and say that one of the main reasons that I haven’t use my iPad as often as I’d like is because I HATE the virtual keyboard. It’s fine for tweeting or writing a quick e-mail but beyond that it’s a huge pain in the posterior. I mean, have you ever read more
Conferences! Or, where I’m going and why it explains where I’ve been
October 17, 2012 – 3:29 pm
Once upon a time, in a shoddy Youtube video created not that long ago, I mused about autumn bringing a sense of routine and structure to what had been a very hectic month or two. I look back at that video now, and I laugh. Not that I was wrong per se – my life read more
How my inner-Simba and possibly-psychic peers unintentionally helped shape my life
March 30, 2012 – 12:12 pm
When I was a kid, there were two professions that people in my life thought I’d be incredibly well suited for that I disagreed with completely. The first, and most prominent, was the sentiment that I would make a great teacher. Every time I was told this, I would scoff. Not because I had anything read more
PodCamp Toronto Part 1: The Sessions
February 28, 2012 – 4:07 pm
I want a shirt that says “I survived PodCamp Toronto 2012”. Not that PodCamp was dangerous or tedious or anything that would normally denote a situation that would need to be survived. I just feel like I’m finally part of the club now, y’know? This past weekend was a big one full of learning, meeting read more
I can’t remember your phone number and it may or may not be a problem
September 23, 2011 – 10:12 am
My boyfriend sent me a message on Facebook today to let me know that he had forgotten his cell phone at my apartment (to which my very intelligent response was “Jasper’s probably making prank calls to Africa by now!” I’m so funny…) Unlike myself, who sadly experiences an embarrassing amount of separation anxiety whenever I read more
Saying goodbye to Sprouter
July 27, 2011 – 2:02 pm
I first heard about Sprouter when I was a fresh-faced PR grad living and working my first “big girl” job in Toronto. While I never made use of the service myself, I always found its foundation of connecting entrepreneurs to industry professionals to help answer questions and lead them to success especially compelling, especially as read more
The War Child Challenge rises again! (Sort of!)
June 30, 2011 – 9:23 am
[Edit: Soooo, this isn't actually happening anymore. Read about why here!] Man, I was doing SO well with my blogging last week. Then this week happened and I found myself buried in work and trying to keep up with the short week so all of my BRILLIANT ideas had to take a backseat. I apologize read more
