A driven and creative senior communicator who loves to talk about, think about and learn about food. I care about the people I work with and the people I work for. I have 15 years of experience helping consumer brands and large companies tell their stories, meaningfully engage their audiences, drive measurable results and make a positive impact in their communities. A Canadian at heart, I’ve thrived in different countries and cultures. I’ve discovered that the best way to learn is to listen more, talk less and walk if you can. I like to collect cookbooks (and cook!), break a sweat to great music (Peloton forever) and soak up pop culture. Still trying to finish Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat.

I'm a versatile leader who believes people are the most critical ingredient to company success. I motivate because I have authentic interest in people; who they are, what they love. I inspire people by helping them figure these things out. These are the relationships I build. I am fascinated by what people do, and what drives them, so individuals open up to me. I respect others, so I'm trusted. I listen to what motivates people, and I succeed by leveraging those motivations. I strive to use integrity as my compass, and curiosity feeds my desire to learn and explore. I am more of a leader than a manager, although I excel at developing and mentoring others.
