My main focuses have always been leadership, governance and forming strong partnerships. One of those partnerships is with the CSAE community. I joined CSAE to connect with fellow association leaders and have been fortunate enough to continuously learn, network and connect along the way.

My company currently manages seven national and four regional associations, as well as many large-scale events, trade shows and conferences each year. I also sit on the CSAE Manitoba Network Council and was on the education committee for the 2020 conference. I am always searching for the next opportunity to grow and expand in both the event and association management industries and can’t wait to see what comes next.
