  MHM Publishing Inc

  May 2011 - Sept 2020

  Editor-in-Chief, Skies Magazine

  Skies Magazine was launched by MHM Publishing in September 2011 with the vision of becoming "Canada's Premier Aviation Magazine." Less than three years later, we had tripled our circulation and expanded our product offerings to include an e-newsletter, digital magazine and social media channels on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. Today, we are still focused on our original formula: hire the best industry writers to tell the stories, and package those stories with stellar aviation photography. As editor-in-chief, I work with freelance writers, industry contacts and our in-house team to develop engaging editorial with a human twist -- so it's not just about planes, it's about people, too.
