For almost 30 years, I covered personal finance and investing for The Globe and Mail. Now I bring that experience to my work in writing, speaking, and consulting.

What I offer:

  • A proven ability to make financial concepts clear and accessible to any audience
  • Deep insights into the mindset of investors and clients, built on decades of experience
  • Practical financial literacy expertise, with sessions delivered to audiences ranging from universities to tech company employees

If my expertise could support your organization’s goals, let’s connect.
