Describe your career path to this career.

I have been involved all my life from school projects to member of parliament. My goal was always to help contribute to make a better society. After I graduated from University I worked in communications and marketing for several different businesses. I took on different leadership roles in several organizations where I used my communications background to help them with their goals. I advanced in my career in communications and marketing taking on greater responsibilities and roles. As I was always interested in helping my community I ran successfully for provincial government. After I lost my seat I returned to the communications field and had several successful positions of leadership. I’m continuing my communications role as a political commentator.

What activities do you like to do outside of work?

Being outdoor is one of my greatest pleasures but getting involved in various causes represents my greatest achievement.

Open your horizons - have diverse interests
