With over 25 years of experience in fundraising and organizational leadership, I am passionate about advancing healthcare and research that improves the lives of millions of Canadians and people around the world. As the CEO of West Park Foundation, I am leading the largest fundraising endeavour in the history of our hospital: the Get Your Life Back Campaign, which supports innovative methods of treatment, leading-edge research, and excellence in patient care at West Park Healthcare Centre.I have a proven track record of building relationships with key donors, inspiring and leading teams, and securing transformational gifts that leave a global and lasting legacy. Some of my key contributions and highlights include: leading Canada's largest private funder of vision research at Fighting Blindness Canada, raising over half a billion dollars in three capital campaigns at Brock University, UHN, and CAMH, and launching a grateful patient program that resulted in $18M for neuromuscular diseases at UHN. I hold a CFRE certification and a BA in Political Science from Wilfrid Laurier University. I am driven by a vision of creating a better health system and a brighter future for everyone.
