called The Nook, for TVO. I did
that for two years. While at TVO I developed content as well as programming
for the station. I also worked as a creative consultant for Stuff,
another show for kids, produced at TVO. |

| PRODUCING |
|
After I graduated, I started on as a host/producer at Toronto
Star Television. Essentially, I was the liaison between the paper and the
station and produced promotions to complement all areas of the paper - editorial,
advertising, circulation, communications and promotions. Now I'm moving
into a development position and working on growing an independent production
department at the Star.

I also run a production company with a partner. It's called
August Productions Incorporated. We are in the middle of
producing our first children's series, with delivery dates at TVO
and TFO for the spring of 2001. Very exciting! The series
is called Benjamin's Farm. At present I am working
on a pilot for a show for the web and television focusing on
Entertainment in Toronto.
