A little about me...
Hey there, I'm Sabrina! A Toronto-based Producer and Podcaster with a mission – telling stories that truly matter.
While my expertise is rooted in production management, at my core, I'm a storyteller. There's a multitude of incredible stories out there, and sometimes, all they need is someone to guide them into the limelight. Enter me!
A proud graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University's RTA program in 2020, I've produced and grown several branded podcasts, steered the production of three short films, and coordinated the delivery of two animated series for Roku and Prime Video.
Currently, I am working as a full-time Producer at Quill a full-service podcast agency that makes it easy for brands to create, launch, and grow successful podcasts.
