Who am I? As the beauty director of a major Canadian fashion magazine, I swatched beauty products and de-coded the latest trends from backstage at fashion week around the world for over a decade. I earned the title of Best Beauty Editor of the Year at the P&G Beauty & Grooming Awards and produced award-winning beauty shoots with makeup artists like Charlotte Tilbury, Dick Page and hairstylists like Harry Josh.

Today, I’m the co-creator of Breaking Beauty podcast, where along with my co-host Jill Dunn, we tell the stories behind the breakthrough people, products and moments shaping beauty history. Breaking Beauty has featured esteemed guests from Victoria Beckham to Jonathan Van Ness to Mario Dedivanovic to Jackie Aina — and many more. Now with nearly 5 million total downloads, Breaking Beauty has earned acclaim in the press, including Vogue, Allure, WWD, Refinery29, and the list goes on!

I’m also a mother and dog mama, as well as a freelance consultant and beauty writer. My blog, Beholdr, for women over 40, is currently on hiatus.
