The Squeaky Wheel: Canada (Season 2)
"A satirical, half-hour news format poking fun at the ableist society people with disabilities face every day." - I was proud to join the writing team for the second season of this bold program, which released in July and August of 2026. I wrote a variety of headlines and skits that were sprinkled throughout all episodes.
