Alison and her godson, Rupert.
I’m an award-winning magazine feature writer who’s now focused on interpreting and reporting how AI is enhancing our creativity and altering how we show up on the internet.
I share how all of it’s unfolding on:
- My blog, Society Pages
- My classes at the University of Toronto (SCS), where I teach courses in Digital Communications Strategy and Social Media in the Age of AI (plus its two Micros) and Writing Digital Content.
• In 2021, I received an Excellence in Teaching Award in Business & Professional Studies from the University of Toronto’s School of Continuing Studies. That was nice.
• When Twitter was a baby bird, I was an editor at Elle Canada.
• In my first career, I was an art historian. I’ve had research fellowships at the Smithsonian Institution (Peale Family Papers) and the Musée d’Orsay (La Documentation – “La Doc”).
• I draw. A lot. The internet likes my art better than my writing, and I’m okay with that.
• I recently published an illustrated novel about grief, a subject I know something about. It’s called I Miss My Mommy: 150 Portraits of Orphaned Adults . Maybe you’ll find yourself in some of the stories? The book earned high praise from Publishers Weekly, plus a Kirkus Star and a spot on the Best Books of 2024 by Kirkus Reviews. I talk about the book with Carla Luccetta (a fellow orphan) on Steve Paikin’s Agenda.
