CV
Professional Summary
I bring over 10 years of writing, editing, and management experience to Writing by LB, working throughout Canada's West Coast, Northern Coast, and Prairies. I know what it means to write for different audiences (don't invite someone to "lunch" in Saskatchewan unless you plan to meet at 10pm), and how to connect with audiences I haven't met yet.
​
As a journalist, advertising copywriter, educator, and even an IV-drip remover (yes, for real), I have always drawn on the same core strength of communication. I thrive on connecting a team, ensuring members feel heard, and drawing the best out of those I work with. If you're looking for a creative with a practical approach to project management, let's talk.

Interests
I am an avid DIY-er, particularly when it means helping the environment and pulling back on consumerism. For instance, in December 2017 I committed to never buying any present wrapping materials that weren't compostable. I've stuck to this commitment and repurpose discarded clothing and packaging to wrap presents year-round. When I'm not enviro-crafting I'm spending time with my husband, son, and pet rabbit.
