My professional journey balances municipal public service in administrative and technical roles with research-focused academic work on economics and artifact conservation. Over the past decade, I’ve cultivated a unique skill set that merges hands-on operational experience in the public sector with deep academic research into economic history and cultural preservation. My academic experience includes acclaimed pedagogical work with undergraduate students.Academically, I’m deeply engaged in research that explores the intersections of economics, history, and conservation. I’ve held teaching and research positions at the University of Toronto, where I taught courses ranging from medieval history to digital humanities methods. My contributions to digital heritage projects, such as creating a GIS search system for historic Florentine census data, highlight my commitment to making historical data accessible and preserving cultural artifacts for future generations. My academic work saw me take on an executive role as Director of Marketing and Promotions, which blended conventional business marketing needs with those of a bibliographic museum collection. In this role, I led a brand revitalization project and planned events that boosted business use and improved community engagement.In my public service roles with the City of Toronto, I’ve managed facility operations in a team environment while optimizing maintenance processes across building systems. These roles taught me the importance of operational efficiency, team coordination, and the ability to solve complex challenges in high-pressure situations.Whether managing diverse teams or conducting high-level research, I’m driven by a passion for enhancing organizational efficiency, fostering meaningful community connections, and advancing our understanding of economic and historical dynamics.
