Policy and communications

I’m an early career professional with expertise in public policy and corporate communications.

Since graduating from the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, I’ve worked in the Public Diplomacy Division at NATO HQ in Brussels, and served as an Assistant to the Minister of Economic Development and Trade in the Government of Alberta. I also work as a freelance writer and editor.

Check out some highlights of my policy and comms work below.

In 2017 and 2019, I worked in the office of the Minister of Economic Development and Trade for the Province of Alberta. As a Ministerial Assistant, I reported to the Minister’s Chief of Staff and took on a range of duties supporting the Minister’s work. I triaged incoming correspondence and phone calls, determining what needed the Minister’s attention, and helping draft and edit his responses. I acted as a liaison point between the Minister and the civil servants and subject matter experts in the department. I wrote and edited briefing notes, speeches, and policy documents, and conducted ad hoc policy research. I also staffed the Minister at meetings with stakeholders (industry leaders, academic researchers, start-up founders, foreign legislators, etc.) and at events, briefing him before meetings and managing his schedule.
