Tell prospective students a bit about the work you do?
I help establish the regulatory environment for regulated property mainly related to the energy sector for property assessment purposes through the annual establishment of assessment rates, which in turn create property taxation revenue for Alberta's municipalities, as well other regulatory issues related to major industrial properties as they arise.
Tell prospective students a bit about how your studies at York helped you to get where you are today.
My education was an important foot in the door and helped develop the discipline necessary to succeed in my public sector career. Understanding the theoretical nature behind public sector administration and management provided me with a solid footing to begin my career with the Government of Alberta.
