I joined EDC in early 2024, as the Relationship Manager for the area I love and which I have called home for most of my life. Having been raised in the Niagara Region, I have a special affinity for the agriculture sector which has been an industry of concentration for me in previous trade and investment roles as well.   My emphasis now is spending my time helping companies in the mid-market space through connections, knowledge, financing, and risk mitigation. My portfolio includes organizations in diverse industries, with special attention to Agriculture, Agri-Foods and Manufacturing.

I have over eleven years of experience in working in the international economic development space with foreign branding, trade, and investment projects. My project involvement has taken me to many diverse markets such as the U.S., Latin America & the Caribbean, the Middle East, the African continent and right here at home in Canada. As a designated Certified International Trade Professional (CITP®|FIBP®) and with a Certification in Economic Development, EcD. Cert., I possess an understanding of international trade dynamics and the ability to navigate complex markets. I’m also fluent in English and Spanish, with a professional level of French and basic understanding of Korean (Hangul).
