Biography: My path to working in administration started in England working for Davies Mayers Chartered Accountants. After my experience abroad, I moved back to Canada where I worked in various customer service positions, including one with Bell Canada. From there, I took a position as Administrative Assistant for EK3 Technologies Inc. and then as Executive Assistant with the London Technology Group.In 2001, shortly after the Network's inception, I joined as the Program Officer. At The Network I am responsible for working with the Research Management Committee and Highly Qualified Personnel Committee to implement The Network’s Research and Student Opportunity programs. I also coordinate the Network Centres of Excellence reporting requirements and provide administrative support to the Network Administrative Centre. I have two beautiful daughters, Keira (2.5 years old) and Meaghan (1 year old) who continue to amaze me everyday. Outside of the office I enjoy the company of family and good friends, reading and kickboxing. |
