As Co-Head of Media Rights, I help our clients share their stories with new audiences in new formats. I love travelling in the overlapping spaces between publishing, film, television, theatre, podcasts, and more.
Before joining WCA, I studied film and English literature at the University of Toronto and completed the Creative Book Publishing Program at Humber College. While at Humber, I met Linda McKnight, then Vice President of WCA, who encouraged me to consider a career as a literary agent. I joined WCA in the summer of 2012 and held a variety of positions including Media Rights Manager.
In 2016 I left WCA to attend Osgoode Hall Law School where I served as a senior editor of the law journal and was awarded the Fogler, Rubinoff LLP Prize in Property Law among other academic accomplishments. Upon graduating and being called to the bar, I practiced in the Dispute and Litigation group at Torys LLP. My favourite part of being a lawyer is helping artists in the areas of defamation, intellectual property, and corporate law.
I returned to WCA as Co-Head of Media Rights and Vice President, Finance in 2024. I am thrilled to once again be part of this amazing team.
In addition to my work as an agent, I maintain a law practice. I occasionally publish articles about the law, including on the topic of good legal writing.

Looking for the next great book to adapt? I’d love to hear from you. Give me a shout, even if you don’t have a specific title in mind, and I’ll tell you about our incredible authors.
What about books?
While my primary focus is on media rights and financial administration at WCA, I am building a small list of clients for literary representation in the following areas:
- Non-fiction: behaviour and neuroscience; economics; family and parenting; labour and the culture of work; law and social justice; popular culture.
- Fiction: crime and mystery with a strong sense of place; upmarket literary fiction (especially stories involving family dynamics); sci-fi and fantasy.
