Advisory Board Member

Manager
French Language Services, Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS)
​​
I have over ten years of experience in leadership roles in the OPS. I worked in finance at the Ministry of Health, then joined MGCS as FLS Coordinator for MGCS, TBS, and Cabinet Office. I currently lead the Economics and Central Agencies French Language Services (ECAFLS) Cluster at TBS. My office serves the seven ministries (that form the ECA cluster) in the planning and implementation of bilingual services to improve outcomes for French-speaking Ontarians.
​
I always have and always will advocate for inclusion, diversity, and the elimination of systemic barriers to give equal opportunities to all.
​
Before joining the OPS, I worked in the not-for-profit sector. I was responsible for setting up and managing community projects and programs as well as collaborating with sector partners and all levels of government to improve outcomes for local communities in the subsidies housing sector in Montreal. I then joined the private sector and managed national and bilateral projects, thus working with organizations such as the World Bank, Canadian International Development Agency, and the African Development Bank to support the establishment of dairy factories in developing countries.
