About

With 20 years of experience working across government, not-for-profits and with corporations, I bring entrepreneurial energy, innovation and thoughtful disruption my work. I work on big challenges by finding solutions that give people confidence in our systems. Whether it's housing affordability, accessible childcare, ending gender violence, better community services, or the place of women in the public, our communities know what we need. My work is about surfacing those solutions.

I wish that everyone loved community involvement, civic engagement and democracy as much as I do – and I wants to build a world where our decision-making institutions better serve the interests of all of us. In my free time, I like to race streetcars on my bicycle, swim in Ontario lakes, eat delicious food and chase my two boys through Toronto’s awesome parks.
