I am an EP from Calgary, Alberta, and I work at the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER). My educational background includes an M.Sc. (Sustainable Energy Development or SEDV) from the University of Calgary in 2017, a B.Eng. (Chemical) from Dalhousie University and an Engineering Diploma from St. Francis Xavier University.
My current role is as a Senior Industrial Engineer at the AER where I have worked since 2017. Before that, I had over 20 years of experience in the upstream oil and gas sector.
When not working, I enjoy keeping up with current affairs, hiking, skiing, and traveling. I also volunteered as the secretary for a local community theatre group in Calgary. In addition, I do some volunteering at the University of Calgary surrounding the SEDV program. I am a mentor in the University of Calgary BMO Mentorship program, the SEDV mentorship program at the School of Public Policy and I have volunteered for the in-house mentorship program at the AER.
I am also a Senator at the University of Calgary. I received the ‘New Public Servant Award for Excellence’ in 2022 from the Institute of Public Administration Canada (IPAC) Alberta chapter and was a recipient of one of the AER’s 2023 Vision and Values Excellence Awards.
