|My first gigs with the federal government was as a co-op student with PacifiCan (formerly Western Economic Diversification Canada) and Innovation, Science and Innovation Canada (formerly Industry Canada) in 2013. After the two co-op terms, I stayed with ISED as a part-time student (four days a week) while I finished my Master of Public Administration (UVIC program), and was bridged in after I graduated. I was with ISED until 2021 where I moved around in different roles, working on programs and policy on various files that include Canada’s science and innovation portfolio, Canada’s automotive industry, the zero-emission vehicles strategy, digital priorities (AI and quantum), and COVID-19 response and PPE/testing capacity in Canada. I was actively engaged with the Young Professionals Network, and also worked in the Minister’s Office as a departmental liaison. I joined TBS in November 2021 so I am relatively new but enjoying it. I have two boys, 1 and 3 years old.

Bonjour, je m'appelle Tara et je suis coordonnatrice de programme. Je suis dans une position unique, car je suis actuellement à cheval sur deux ministères - l'un pour mon travail dans le cadre de mon détachement (anciennement une affectation) à Infrastructure Canada (INFC) et l'autre pour mon travail en tant que responsable des communications pour le réseau YMAGIN (Youth MAndate for Greater INvolvement) à Emploi et Développement social Canada (EDSC). J'ai commencé en tant qu'étudiant coopératif à l'ESDC et j'ai utilisé mes compétences en matière de réseautage pour faire la transition vers un poste à durée indéterminée après l'obtention du diplôme/la fin du programme coopératif. Depuis, je travaille à temps plein pour le gouvernement et j'ai participé activement à un certain nombre d'initiatives et de projets au sein du CESD et ailleurs. J'ai déjà travaillé et collaboré avec le Réseau fédéral des jeunes (RFJ) et le Réseau des jeunes professionnels de la région de la capitale nationale (RJP RCN) et je suis très enthousiaste à l'idée de partager mes connaissances et mon expérience avec quiconque souhaite discuter à tout moment. J'ai hâte d'être votre mentor ! 😊
Bonjour, je m'appelle Tara et je suis coordonnatrice de programme. Je suis dans une position unique, car je suis actuellement à cheval sur deux ministères - l'un pour mon travail dans le cadre de mon détachement (anciennement une affectation) à Infrastructure Canada (INFC) et l'autre pour mon travail en tant que responsable des communications pour le réseau YMAGIN (Youth MAndate for Greater INvolvement) à Emploi et Développement social Canada (EDSC). J'ai commencé en tant qu'étudiant coopératif à l'ESDC et j'ai utilisé mes compétences en matière de réseautage pour faire la transition vers un poste à durée indéterminée après l'obtention du diplôme/la fin du programme coopératif. Depuis, je travaille à temps plein pour le gouvernement et j'ai participé activement à un certain nombre d'initiatives et de projets au sein du CESD et ailleurs. J'ai déjà travaillé et collaboré avec le Réseau fédéral des jeunes (RFJ) et le Réseau des jeunes professionnels de la région de la capitale nationale (RJP RCN) et je suis très enthousiaste à l'idée de partager mes connaissances et mon expérience avec quiconque souhaite discuter à tout moment. J'ai hâte d'être votre mentor ! 😊

|I was born in raised in Ottawa, but I have deep East Coast roots. My love of service, community, family and working hard come from my Nova Scotia background. I was very involved in University life from joining a Sorority, to volunteering at Carleton’s Student Experience Office (SEO) and leading a group for Carleton Serves. I worked for several departments (DND, RCMP, ISED, ISC and ESDC to name a few) as an FSWEP Student while I attended Carleton University and Algonquin College and that experience allowed me to get bridged into my current position at Fisheries and Oceans Canada! I have a Degree in Human Rights and Social Justice and supporting the diverse, intersectional, equitable, inclusive and accessible Student Hiring initiatives at DFO aligns with my personal values and professional goals. Things to remember: maintain those connections that you have made, take advantage of the opportunities that come your way, ask questions, don’t ever count yourself out and be open to new experiences and learn how to be flexible/adaptable!

I am C-C-B bilingual with a total of 7+ years of experience in the federal public service, which during that time, I have worked as a CO-OP student, casual, and term until my indeterminate appointment in 2018, so I am no stranger to student bridging, networking, job competitions, or the on-boarding/off-boarding processes. Now as a unit head, I have gained a new perspective from hiring, training, and supervising. From these experiences both as an employee and as a supervisor, I can relate to the trials and tribulations that students and new public servants frequently face so I am excited to share my knowledge and experiences with these mentees.
