Storytelling is the heart of society. Through stories, we can represent unique voices and preserve information for future generations.
As a freelance writer, I am passionate about the relationship between words and action. I use writing to translate complex data into digestible content, and in my free time, I tell stories about art.

Fun meets facts.
Accuracy is the cornerstone of my writing style. As a history writer, I'm committed to presenting well-researched, relevant information.
To achieve this, I source material from my alma mater, Lakehead University's online library. For my visuals, I search through art records at MetPublications and Canadian collections from Library and Archives Canada (LAC).
Expertise
Writing is the foundation that supports digital storytelling. To elevate written content, words have to be guided by engaging visuals and layouts. My expertise expands far beyond just writing and includes graphic and web design, video editing, and social media communications.

Certifications
I am nearing the end of my postgraduate program, but for me, learning is lifelong. To stay current with industry trends, I make it a point to update my skillset.
Land Acknowledgment
Tina Writes History is based in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
This Treaty 1 land and the Red River that flows through it share an ancestral bond with the Anishinaabeg, Métis, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples. The land also carries a history of colonization, which impacts the lives of so many Indigenous Peoples today.
As someone committed to respect and accuracy, I recognize my responsibility to acknowledge the dynamic nature of Indigenous history. This acknowledgment is a starting point in my ongoing commitment to reconciliation and the pursuit of a more inclusive historical record.
