About Me

I study business, shoot street photography, travel when I can, and climb things that probably shouldn't be climbed. This is the longer version of who I am.


Background

I'm a Business Administration student at NSCC with a focus in marketing and communications. I'm drawn to the strategic side of business — understanding audiences, building brands, and figuring out what makes people choose one thing over another. This portfolio is a reflection of that curiosity, pulling together academic work, consulting projects, and a few personal creative pursuits along the way.

Outside of Work
📷  Photography

Most of my work is street photography — capturing candid moments, everyday life, and the character of places I visit. Europe gave me a lot to work with.

✈️  Travel

Exploring new places, cultures, and perspectives. Travel is where a lot of my best ideas come from.

🧗  Rock Climbing

I like rock climbing because it helps me practice working through tough problems and challenges in a completely different environment than the classroom or workplace.

Professional Goals
Short-term  ·  0–1 Year

Complete my Business Administration diploma at NSCC with a focus in marketing and communications. Continue building real-world experience through my work at Lochaber Lake Lodges and stay sharp on industry tools like Mailchimp, social media management, and market research. Build out this portfolio with completed project work.

Medium-term  ·  1–3 Years

Land a full-time role in marketing, brand management, or communications — ideally with a company where I can work closely with both strategy and execution. I want to be in an environment where I'm learning from experienced marketers while contributing meaningfully from day one. Continue developing my skills in content strategy, campaign management, and consumer analysis.

Long-term  ·  3–5 Years

Move into a senior marketing role where I'm leading campaigns, managing client relationships, or building brand strategy. I'd like to work across industries — I'm drawn to tourism, lifestyle, and local business, but I'm open to wherever good marketing problems exist. Longer term, I'd love to consult independently or build something of my own.
