Since 2012, I have worked as a consultant lobbyist for clients across a broad range of sectors. As a lobbyist, I focus on building long-term working relationships between clients and government, educating policy-makers and anticipating how new directions in government may impact clients and the issues that matter to them. I have planned and executed Lobby Days at Queen's Park, and executed issue-based campaigns.

I create and execute digital and social media marketing strategies for clients including: content marketing, SEO strategy, SEM and paid social campaigns and community management. My clients have seen an increase in brand awareness and engagement with their audience and increased revenue.
