|<big>Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, I grew up in an extended family that owned many small or side businesses understanding the importance of delivering products that meets client needs. Throughout my career, I have been 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, and delivering IRCC programs.</big>

I have recently taken on the responsibility for IRCC’s Service Strategy Division and previously led a team located across the country responsible for helping companies use immigration programs to grow their businesses, create jobs, and grow our economy. To complement my experiences, I earned a bilingual degree in Business Administration from l’Université du Québec à Montréal.</big>

<big>Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing sports (badminton, curling), traveling and reading.</big>
