After graduating from St. John High School, I left home in Perth to attend Queen’s University, where I earned my degree with Honours in Political Science before pursuing additional studies at the University of Toronto in Public Relations.

I have since built a career spanning public service, corporate leadership, business development and government innovation. I’m passionate about contributing a next-generation voice to leadership, bringing fresh perspectives together with practical experience.

My career began on Parliament Hill and government departments in the public sector. A key component of all the roles I’ve held is that, right from the beginning, I’ve worked directly with legislators, senior officials and government decision-makers at the federal, provincial and municipal levels across the country. 

After I transitioned to the private sector, I became the youngest member of a national leadership team at a Big Four consulting firm at 28-years-old. In that role, I managed a cross-Canada team pursuing work with government and was selected by my firm for continent-wide corporate leadership development as a progressive, young leader. I co-founded an international mentorship program supporting the career development of young professionals in the Philippines and India.

Today, I am a Director of Business Development leading public-private collaborations that deliver critical services to citizens across the country. Having worked in nearly every province in Canada, I have driven some of the country’s largest, most innovative government procurement and business development initiatives of the last decade.

I have shared my insight as a speaker at public sector innovation summits on emerging and future-facing issues for government.

I have also served as a board director for multiple organizations and chaired board governance initiatives, bringing experience in oversight, accountability and responsible decision-making. I have been an advocate for local healthcare needs and earned my Rural Advocacy Certificate through the Rural Ontario Institute.

My career has positioned me as a connector between the public and private spheres—bringing together government, business and community perspectives to build partnerships and turn complex ideas into action.
