Her contributions cover the Corus network, from radio interviews and online articles, to her strong and engaged social media following, being one of the earliest and most-followed local journalists on Twitter.

Past highlights include going inside the Fort Saskatchewan Correctional Centre’s Tri-centre for a special report on education behind bars, an exclusive interview with Kevin Costner from inside a private jet, and hosting and producing an innovative primetime special on the local food movement, long before “local” was a catch-phrase.

Earlier postings took her to small-town Northern BC as a videographer, morning radio anchor, and host of a TV current affairs program. She credits her work on “To the Point, with Jennifer Crosby” with honing her interviewing and adlibbing skills.
