Every project has its challenges. I’m at my best when I’m working with multi-disciplinary teams to solve problems and collaborating with others to find solutions to common goals. As a professional engineer with more than 28 years experience managing programs and projects in the public and private sectors, I appreciate the details that make things complicated, without losing sight of the bigger picture. I am a strategic thinker who can balance broad policy objectives with specific technical needs. Over the past 15 years, I have developed my negotiating skills, which I put to work on multi-million dollar on grants and contributions and contracts for infrastructure projects across Canada. I am someone who works well as part of a team by looking for innovative ways to meet everyone’s needs without sacrificing quality. I have a knack for identifying what’s important in a given situation, and focusing on what’s necessary to get results.
