It’s been an honour to inform Canadians from coast-to-coast on their weather details on The Weather Network. Now, you can see me occasionally back with my former colleagues at the CBC! It’s an exciting partnership while working as a weather anchor with TWN and helping to bringing you the most update and accurate weather forecasts on CBC as well as always on The Weather Network!

Big thanks to Jason at The Tenth Letter Photography for the great picture!
Sorry for the delay in announcing this news here! It’s been a busy few weeks. I’ve decided after a lovely maternity leave that I won’t be heading back to my reporting position with the great team at Citytv. Time for some personal and professional changes, and I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve joined the on-air roster at The Weather Network! A huge thanks to all of my colleagues and viewers who made Citytv such an incredible place to work. I’m excited to take on new challenges as a National Anchor with TWN. Hope you will continue to follow along! Thanks for being a part of all the fun these past 4 years with City, Toronto!
Thank you to all of you for following along this site. Hoping that 2015 will bring you all much love and joy! I’m counting our blessings this year and am so humbled to have partnered up with some incredible organizations to give back to others in need. Special shout-out to the Oakville Parent-Child Centre. Here’s a snap from this years Breakfast with Santa 2014. 400 attendees, many singing children and of course the big man in red. Along with my special little helper, I was so happy to be the Emcee this year. If you’d like more info check out their site! Cheers to all and best of luck for this year!
I’m always proud to participate in the Parkinson SuperWalk! Thanks for having me back again this year to speak to the crowd. It was an especially emotional time – this is the first event I’ve been at since my Grandfather’s passing. He loved listening to the stories of those that fought the disease alongside him and this year was no different. Check out the video as the Citytv cameras were there to support the largest national fundraising event for Parkinson Society Canada! Tens of thousands of participants from coast-to-coast get involved. Last year close to 3 million dollars were raised for support services, research and advocacy….and most of all for continued HOPE!
I’d love to see you out at the Toronto walk next year! Visit parkinsonsuperwalk.ca for more information, to donate to the cause, or get involved as a volunteer! OR: There are hundreds of walks across the country, find one or start one near you! Thanks for reading!!
Mom’s to be: check out the latest edition of Today’s Parent Pregnancy – the free mini-mag at your doctor’s office and health care provider. Tons of great tips for your bundle of joy and it was such a special honour being this month’s cover star! See the write-up about the magazine features here.
One year after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, residents marked the anniversary in quiet remembrance today.
I remember covering the story very clearly last year. Watching the growing make-shift memorials of candles and flowers on the steps of the US Consulate in Toronto. Watching the tender hugs between parents and their young children as the news struck. On Dec. 14, 2012, Adam Lanza, 20, shot his way into the school he had once attended and murdered 20 first-graders, all aged 6 and 7, and six adults. Before heading to the school, he killed his mother in her bed, who had legally purchased the guns Lanza used that day. Eleven minutes after blasting his way in, Lanza ended his rampage with suicide.
As a journalist, it’s one of the stories that stays with us all.
The aftershocks live on, a year later.
