Tell prospective students a bit about the work you do.

After graduating from York University Public Policy and Administration undergraduate program in 2004, I started my Ontario Public Service career as a policy intern working in the Ministry of Energy. Since that time, I’ve worked in more progressive senior policy and fiscal planning roles at the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of the Solicitor General, the Office of the Treasury Board, and the Office of the Budget (Ministry of Finance).

I am currently the Director of the Labour Relations Policy and Fiscal Coordination branch in the Treasury Board Secretariat, where I am responsible for labour relations fiscal planning, enterprise-wide labour relations emergency management and contingency planning, as well as central agency costing and research pertaining to collective bargaining in the Ontario Public Service and parts of the Broader Public Sector
