I had the pleasure of documenting a street mural project along the Evelyn-Wiggins cycle track in Toronto, organized by StreetARToronto. The artists transform bike barriers into canvases, turning these grey concrete barriers into a roadside street art exhibit. It’s always inspiring to witness the process of these local artists and to see how each brings their unique vision to life. Street art like this is so important to the city. It beautifies our urban spaces but also democratizes art, making it accessible to everyone. Public art projects like this one can uplift a community, spark joy, and turn our everyday commutes into a moment of inspiration.

Last Project with Trillium Health Partners
After nearly three years of working with Trillium Health Partners, my time has come to a close. I'm so grateful for the opportunities I've had and the amazing people I got to work with.
I always tell people this, and it's so true - if in my interview I was told that there was a pandemic on the horizon I may have had second thoughts about taking the job. However, I'm so glad I did.
Documenting and telling the stories of what was happening within the hospital’s walls was a really compelling experience.
For my last project with THP I got to tell the story of this brave family and the amazing team that cared for them in some of their darkest moments.
I'm going to miss telling these stories and working with such an incredible team. Thanks so much Trillium Health Partners.
COVID-19 Vaccine Q&A: Pregnancy
Been neglecting my media feed for a bit. It’s been a busy two months for me. I’ve recently moved into a new house and have been juggling work and life as well. I have a backlog of photos and videos I want to share. I’m going to start with a video from a Q&A I did with the Medical Director, Women’s Health at Trillium Health Partners. This was an interesting and informative series. Nothing too exciting about the videography here, but I did like the way the opening graphic looks, so here it is!
I’ve got a lot more content to share from the last little while, so be sure to come back and check it out!
Mississauga's first mass COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic Closes
I had the opportunity to document UTM's mass vaccinations clinic operations from when it started to when it closed. It was a really amazing thing to be a part of. I think this will be a moment that I'll look back on fondly.
Something really special about this day was getting to spend time with the staff who ran this clinic throughout its lifecycle. They were playing slideshows of the images I took at the clinic. The staff were gathered around reminiscing about their experience. It’s moments like this that are really special for me as a photographer. To be able to capture photographs of these milestones is such a privilege. I made sure to share the images with everyone I could so they would have something to look back on from their time working at the clinic. For the staff who worked and shared memories I hope these images and videos age like a fine wine.
Vaccine Efficacy Explained
Another animated video created for Trillium Health Partners.
"All approved vaccines are 100 per cent effective at preventing hospitalization and death from COVID-19. We should all take the first opportunity to be vaccinated."
Watch as Dr. Matthew Robinson, Medical Director of THP’s COVID-19 Vaccination Program, explains what is meant by vaccine efficacy in relation to the severity of symptoms caused by COVID-19.
