Associate Professor, Teaching Stream, School of Public Policy and Administration, York University
Public Administration, Bachelor of Arts (BA), Specialized Honours 1989

After spending two decades working for the federal and provincial governments, and in the broader public sector, I am now teaching in the Public Policy and Administration Program at York University. I have the great pleasure of connecting practice and theory by working with students and their prospective employers to develop course content, and experiential education components. Beyond the great classroom experiences our students receive, they are able to get real experiences by participating in our practicum program as well as other opportunities to engage with real public servants. It is really rewarding to build these bridges between our students and the government and the broader public sector.

The PPA degree from York was like getting a passport that allowed me to experience many different places within the public and broader public sector. These insights and skills are immensely valuable and transferable, and I quickly realized it opened many doors for me to have a varied and rewarding career. I have been able to serve on a Royal Commission, represent the Province of Ontario on international trade missions, work as a Chief of Staff to Cabinet Minister, as well as work as a government relations professional for a number of colleges and universities, a offer executive training programs to public servants all around the world. All this because of the foundational education opportunities I received in the PPA Program at York.
