Summary

I bring several years of experience in the event industry, graduating from the Hospitality Management – Hotel and Restaurant program at Seneca College. I began my career at a private golf course on the edge of North York, where my interest in events grew while working behind the scenes to support special events for members.

As my career progressed, I transitioned into the corporate sector, gaining valuable experience planning and supporting events during my years as a receptionist. This led to my most recent role at Sun Life, where I worked directly with clients and staff to plan and execute events from end to end.

My journey has now brought me to the C.D. Howe Institute, where I am excited to expand my expertise, take on new challenges, and continue growing in the event industry.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, traveling to new cities, and trying different foods.
