As a Program Manager at Provincial Building and Construction Trades Council of Ontario (PBCTCO), I work with a diverse team of stakeholders to develop and implement programs that support the advancement of skilled trades workers in the construction industry. I have over 10 years of experience in managing projects, budgets, and contracts, as well as conducting research, analysis, and evaluation of labour market trends and policy issues. I am also a Master of Industrial Relations candidate at Queen's University, where I am studying the theory and practice of labour and employment relations, with a focus on collective bargaining, labour law, and dispute resolution. I am passionate about promoting the interests and rights of workers, fostering a culture of collaboration and respect, and contributing to the economic and social development of Ontario. My core competencies include program design and delivery, stakeholder engagement, labour relations, change management and strategic planning.
