My name is Emily, and I am a journalist based in Vancouver, British Columbia. I have a passion for reporting on social justice topics, and amplifying diverse voices. My passion drives me to do the best work I can.
Through my school, I had the opportunity to intern at TransLink and CBC Toronto. These experiences were extremely valuable, and taught me how to adapt to a fast-paced office space and work with tight deadlines.
During my time at the CBC, I worked on the radio show As It Happens. The show taught me how to produce multiple stories per day, with a five hour deadline. Some of my favourite stories I created was about the overdose crisis in Saskatoon, and a man who won a King Charles III Coronation Medal.
Now in my final term at BCIT, I am working on a documentary about Florence Girard, who died of starvation while in the care of CLBC. This story hits close to home, and is a scary reality for many families who have loved ones in care.
