PORTFOLIO OF WORK
About me
What I do
I help organizations find clarity in complex issues and turn it into compelling narratives through policy and communication.
My background
I have led the development of public affairs programs across new and emerging organizations, building the structures and strategies needed to support effective advocacy and government engagement. My experience includes leading 200+ engagements with policymakers, organizing coordinated advocacy initiatives at Queen’s Park, securing earned media coverage in The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, and Research Money, and playing a key role in securing public funding investments impacting students and communities across Ontario.
My approach
I want to tell powerful stories about people, communities, and ideas driving meaningful change. I believe strong narratives shape how issues are understood, prioritized, and acted on. I assess what is known, identify gaps, and position issues to influence decisions and drive action.
