The 2023-2024 Projector team is a collective of writers, storytellers, and grammar freaks from Red River College Polytechnic’s Creative Communications program. Although we have a variety of strengths and backgrounds, we each share a desire to maintain a publication that embodies the principles of transparency, integrity, and accountability. We are proud to represent and inform the students of RRC Polytech.

JURA MCILRAITH (SHE/HER)

News Editor

Jura has looked up to reporters her entire life. That influence plus her love of reading and writing led her to start CreComm straight out of high school. Despite being one of the youngest in her class, Jura hasn’t let that intimidate her. When she’s not writing for rural newspapers or procrastinating on campus, you can find her rewatching The Lord of the Rings, jamming out to the Talking Heads or finding space for more books—last she counted there were 358.

After finishing his Bachelor of Arts at the University of Manitoba, he decided to come to Red River College Polytechnic to gain and hone his communication skills.

You can tell by Megan’s tattoos of butterflies, flowers, and mushrooms that she is a nature lover. She likes gardening in the warmer months and tending to her indoor houseplants year-round. After chugging back a French Vanilla, cold brew, or iced latte, she lets her creativity flow through her love of writing and design. Megan strives to stay connected to Winnipeg’s arts and culture scene by participating in and attending local events.

MEGAN FITZMAURICE (SHE/HER)

News Beat Reporter

Megan is an ambitious CreComm student who strives to look at every side of life. When she’s not scrolling on TikTok, she can be found at rinks around Manitoba supporting ringette however she can. She’s the kind of person to make small talk with anyone in store lines and thinks all day about the impact of something small she learned. She’s always been a big reader and dreams of writing a book someday while travelling the world. She prides herself on always being willing to listen and thinks she’s much funnier than she actually is.

News Beat Reporter

Danna was an educator in the Philippines before moving to Winnipeg a little over a year ago. Her love for learning and personal growth led her to CreComm just months after finishing her Master of Arts in Education. A familiar face in the library, you’ll see her finding solace in the company of books while listening to music and sipping her coffee. She has a keen eye for detail and enjoys silently observing everything around her.

ELISABETH KEHLER (SHE/HER)

ELISABETH KEHLER (SHE/HER)

Arts & Culture Beat Reporter

Elisabeth has been all over the map, both literally and figuratively. Although born in Winnipeg, she grew up overseas in Ethiopia, Uganda and Italy, moving back to Winnipeg eleven years ago. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Manitoba, but afterwards she found herself working as a pharmacy assistant. She realized she missed being creative and applied for CreComm, and she’s almost never been happier. She loves canoeing, walking (too fast for most people), baking, and of course, writing.

NATE FLAMAN (HE/HIM)

Multimedia Beat Reporter

When Nate (who, by the way, is actually two kids cleverly concealed in a trenchcoat) isn’t busy reporting, eating, or cracking jokes, you can find him hanging out with his loyal canine companion, Macaroni. Together, they embark on adventures and enjoy the simple joys of life.
