I am that candidate with a successful track record in the following areas:

• Ancillary: I have worked in government settings, community, and industry to advance the social, economic and general welfare of Albertans by providing proactive strategies and services that include advocacy and education, leadership and resources with all stakeholders.

• Board Governance, Policy Development and Leadership: Former elected official, Chair of numerous boards and committees, and Order in Council appointment. Presiding Officer of quasi-judicial hearings including deliberations and decisions; proficient in preparing reports and documents with respect to policies, program budget and industry best practices.

• Community & Public Relations: As a Strategic Coordinator, I’ve designed comprehensive strategies to ensure successful execution of business objectives, worked in partnership with government and community stakeholders to develop and facilitate strategic solutions from grant funding, legislative changes, and collaborative initiatives to address systemic barriers.

• Marketing, Communications and Leadership: As a senior executive of dynamic and highly member driven organizations, I have championed and been responsible for providing vision and strategic leadership for marketing and communications initiatives, ensured the integration and coordination of stakeholder relations, and ensure activities support reputation-building.

• Education: Master of Business Administration (MBA); my thesis was on ‘Economic Development in small- to mid- sized municipalities’.
