|My experience at the Director level spans the past fifteen years and includes experience in three departments dealing with natural resource management, both nationally and regionally. My chosen role for the past thirteen years has been leading Regional operations management with teams who deliver services to improve the quality of life of Canadians in rural communities.

During a long career with the Public Service I have worked in Intergovernmental Affairs, policy development, engagement and consultations, research, negotiations and advising senior management in Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), Treasury Board Secretariat, Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs-Department of Indian and Northern Development, Natural Resources Canada-Canadian Forest Service and now ECCC-CWS.  In the nine years I spent in Ottawa, I gained experience in drafting public policy documents, Memorandums to Cabinets, strategic planning, legal risk management, national strategies and blueprints, and briefing books.

I have a keen interest in developing people in their leadership roles at all levels. I draw upon my experience as a mentor, mentee and also as designer of a pilot mentoring project with DFO to attract, develop and retain new recruits in the Science Sector. I see mentoring as an active two-way conversation.
