Please share your background. 

My passion for running led to creating a TV show called Run With It, broadcast monthly and airs daily on Novus TV (TELUS), Healthy Living Network, Optik TV, and the YouTube channel. My other show on Novus (TELUS) TV and YouTube channel is The Closing Act, which profiles musicians, and other movers and shakers in the entertainment industry. Run With It, I interview health and fitness professionals, athletes and celebrities on everything from proper nutrition to training for marathons. I am a nationally published health and fitness/lifestyle writer. I write a weekly column in Quebec’s second largest English language newspaper, The Sherbrooke Record and freelance for other notable publications. I have written stories for The Seattle Times, Livid Magazine, New York, The Vancouver Sun, Snowshoe Magazine, Canadian Running and OptiMYz magazine. When I am not busy hosting and writing I am a running instructor at the University of British Columbia.

Both shows are now live streaming on ZondraTV Network airing on Roku, AppleTV, AmazonFirechat and more!
