In December 2025, I was invited to join the CBC Creator Program team as a freelance researcher and copyeditor. Tiffany Wice, the associate producer for the Creator Program, was seeking a skilled researcher that could assistant with fact-checking and visual research. We had just recently worked together on the Skylight Caper video with YouTube content creator Christeah and Tiff was impressed with my abilities. I was shortly after brought on to the Paraskeva Clark video.
For years now, I have worked with YouTube content creator Christeah, reviewing her video scripts and providing notes on the video's structure. When she was invited to join the CBC Creator Program, a group within the CBC that works with content creators to create mini-documentaries, she was able to bring me on board as part of her usual video making-process. I was thus hired as a research assistant for the video. The result was this video on the Skylight Caper, a lesser known art heist at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art in 1972. I have a strong working relationship with the ArQuives, Canada's 2SLGBTQ+ Archives, and in 2025, they reached out to hire me to write a few articles for Defining Moments Canada. DMC and the ArQuives were working on a project together called Proud To Be about queer Canadian history and DMC wanted to highlight the role that the ArQuives played in that. I was thus commissioned to write three articles; two on the history of the ArQuives and one on the Clarke Institute of Psychology's gender identity clinic.
