With a foundational education in Chemical Engineering and Business from the University of Waterloo, I've spent over 15 years leading initiatives that significantly impact the water sector in Ontario and beyond.

My expertise spans from strategic planning to collaborative stakeholder engagement to leadership and innovation, all aimed at promoting sustainable water management practices. As a recognized leader in the water sector, my contributions extend beyond organizational boundaries, influencing policy, advancing technological adoption, and advocating for sustainable environmental stewardship.
