I am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with more than 20 years of experience in the management of large health research projects, and more than 30 years in project management in the scientific and technical fields. In 2011, I started my own company, Lyric Management, specializing in management and leadership training and teaching, event coordination and delivery, grant writing and facilitation, and coaching and mentorship. My work and contributions have been recognized for excellence with several awards from the Canadian Association of Research Administrators. I have a BSc from the University of Manitoba. I am committed to enabling responsible and efficient conduct of research through professional and personal development opportunities in leadership and project management for those working in the research enterprise. My motto is work hard, live well, and give back. My values include community, fairness and integrity. As as leader, my role is to create opportunities for others to contribute their best, empower and engage team members, communicate with truth and transparency, and build trust through reliability, honesty, and love.
