|Economist/Advisor
|Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat
|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.
