I’m Lyra (like lyrics) — a journalist, educator, and creative communicator drawn to stories that reveal the humanity behind culture, systems, and everyday life. My work spans arts, music, healthcare, and community reporting, with a focus on ethical storytelling, emotional honesty, and the people behind the headlines.

I hold a BA in Journalism with a minor in Professional Communication Studies from MacEwan University, and I bring more than a decade of experience as a singer-songwriter and music educator into my reporting. Whether I’m interviewing artists, covering live performances, or exploring social and technological issues, I approach every story with curiosity, care, and respect for lived experience.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me swimming, training dogs, or writing songs.
