About Me

I am a government relations and advocacy specialist with the Nova Scotia Division of the Canadian Cancer Society.  My common law partner Melinda and I live in Halifax with our cats, Julio and Toey.

I went to law school at the University of Ottawa and was called to the Bar of Ontario in 2007.  During law school, I clerked for judges of the Ontario Court of Justice and interned with the federal Department of Justice and the Office of the Commissioner of Review Tribunals. Prior to law school, I worked for five years as the Legislative Assistant to a Member of Parliament.  I am originally from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and, before moving to Ottawa, I was a reservist in the Canadian Forces.
