I have nearly 15 years' experience driving global innovation initiatives, strategic planning, and high-level research programs. I am a results-driven executive leader dedicated to achieving transformative change. My diverse background in global governance, global financial governance, and global health has allowed me to collaborate with stakeholders from a wide range of sectors (including post-secondary institutions, research institutes, think tanks, and various international organizations). Throughout my career, I have gained experience driving innovation, securing multi-million-dollar funding, and establishing successful collaborative international programs. With my collaborative leadership style, strategic mindset, and innovative approach, I excel in multidisciplinary environments that require integrity, creativity, flexibility, and sound judgment. I am transitioning to support home-grown innovation and leveraging my expertise to contribute to the thriving innovation ecosystem in my home province of Newfoundland and Labrador. I hold an MA in Political Science from the University of Waterloo and a BA (Hons) from Memorial University of Newfoundland.
