| + | |Director, Domestic Network |

| + | |Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, I grew up in an extended family that owned many small businesses in accounting, leasing, auto repair, real estate, and cake decorating. I have an entrepreneurial spirit and a natural ability to lead through inspiration. Sometimes, I feel like ‘managing’ is a skill that I have inherited. Whether by helping clients in the banking sector, making lifetime memories for guests at Walt Disney World, serving long line-ups at Passport Canada during the Western Hemisphere Travel |
| + | Initiative, or nation-building at Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada, I have made continuous service improvement my standard. To complement my experiences, I earned a bilingual degree in Business Administration from l’Université de Québec à Montréal. |
| + | Currently, I lead a team of 50 amazing and diverse individuals, located across the country, who are responsible for helping companies leverage immigration programs, when no Canadian is able to fill the vacancy, to grow their businesses. My position is ‘Director of the Dedicated Service Channel’ and the most important part of my work is to create vision and strategy, create business intelligence, and mobilize people. |
| + | My Management principles are: Empathy, Collaboration, and Growth |
| + | Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my young family, playing sports (badminton, curling, volleyball, and baseball), traveling and reading. |
