|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.

|Human Resources Assistant

|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!

|If asked to summarize in one word who I am professionally, that word would be "innovator". Innovative ideas and solutions are the backbone to my career and many aspects of my life, including and especially in the area of “holistic” talent management which is within the strategic human resources field. However, to provide the traditional information on my career background, I have over 20 years experience in the private sector working in hospitality, retail management at the executive level, sales and marketing, hi-tech and eight years operating a successful executive recruiting and talent management boutique firm. Fourteen years ago, I joined the Government of Canada and have worked in various strategic HR and holistic talent management roles and in 2009 launched and currently co-chair an interdepartmental Talent Management Community of Practice. In 2017, I became a member of a novel federal government employee mobility program called the Free Agent Program that has allowed me to go on assignments of varying lengths and live the "gig economy" within government. Please refer to my CV for details!
