Career
She has published numerous short stories in anthologies and literary journals such as Shift, The Capilano Review, Antigonish Review and The New Quarterly.[4] Two of her short stories have been nominated for the Journey Prize in fiction writing.[5] She has also been the recipient of a City of Ottawa Arts Grant (for Regarding Wanda) and a Canada Council writing grant (for The Book of Love), and has participated in the Banff Centre Writing Studio workshops.[6]

She has also been a regular contributor to the Ottawa Citizen and the Huffington Post,[7] and is a frequent contributor to other major Canadian media outlets, such as the Globe and Mail and Chatelaine magazine.

She was twice cited for the Michener Award for meritorious public service in journalism; has been recognized with the Canadian Association of Journalists' investigative journalism prize (2006); and has twice won gold awards for breaking news from the Canadian Business Press.[9]
