Communications
& Writing Portfolio
Every organization has a story worth telling, and every message is an opportunity to build trust, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful impact.
Throughout my career, I've helped organizations translate complex ideas into compelling stories that resonate with employees, stakeholders, media, governments, and communities. Below is a curated collection of communications strategies, writing samples, speeches, campaigns, media materials, and creative work that showcase my approach to clear, strategic, and human-centred communication.
Corporate communications doesn't
have to be boring.
Event Planning

The Blaise The Trail Podcast was born during the COVID-19 pandemic while Blaise was living in England. What began as a way to document the adventure of building a life abroad quickly evolved into something much deeper: a platform dedicated to exploring purpose, resilience, and the extraordinary stories that shape who we become.
Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in broadcast journalism, communications, and storytelling, Blaise has interviewed guests from around the world, uncovering the moments that transformed adversity into opportunity. From entrepreneurs and advocates to everyday heroes, each conversation reveals the power of the human spirit and the courage it takes to blaze your own trail.
At its heart, the podcast is built on one powerful belief: every person has the ability to become the hero of their own story. Through authentic conversations about resilience, leadership, mental health, advocacy, reinvention, and purpose, listeners are encouraged to embrace their imperfections, rewrite limiting narratives, and discover the strength that already exists within them.
Whether you're navigating change, overcoming adversity, or searching for your next chapter, the Blaise The Trail Podcast reminds us that our stories don't define us—our response to them does. Every challenge has the potential to become a catalyst for growth, and every person has the power to blaze a trail for others to follow.
