About Me   About Me
I have been fortunate to have experienced a variety of excellent opportunities such as, working at EMI Music Canada, a recording studio,
djing in night clubs in Toronto and Tokyo and participating in photography festivals in Tokyo; but, nothing has been as rewarding as working with youth.

After creating online educational games in Toronto, Canada; I moved to Tokyo, Japan, where I worked with adults and child of all ages in an English Preschool and Interactive Language school. I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of living in Asia. The people, culture, food, festivals!

Upon returning to Toronto, I sought a working position with in a youth run non profit organization. I hoped to use my technical and teaching experience for beneficial purposes.

I joined Taking It Global as the Project Manager for a new initiative called ‘Youth Media Exchange.org’. YMEX.org is an online networking site for youth to discuss, engage and promote social change through the use and creation of digital content. We welcome you to visit the site when it launches January 2008.

I am currently working as an online editor, interviewing Award winning entrepreneurs who are also Taking IT Global members from around the world. These winners have been recognized as young leaders of social at the Global Social Entrepreneurs' Youth Conference which was held in Malaysia last November. If you are interested in learning more about these incredible individuals, check out the report in the Panorama Section next month (February 2008).
