About Me

I specialize in turning complex information into insights that drive real change. As a researcher, policy analyst, and strategic leader, my goal is simple: to make evidence meaningful, accessible, and impactful for the audiences who need it most.

My primary expertise lies in health policy, though I also engage regularly with broader social, economic, and environmental issues, particularly with regards to energy policy.

From 2021 to 2025, I advanced through progressively senior roles at the Montreal Economic Institute (MEI), ultimately serving as Director of Research, where I led a high-performing team in producing rigorous, evidence-based analyses that shaped public debate and informed policy decisions. Before that, I spent two years as an Associate Researcher with the organization as well as five years with the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy, contributing to the Health Policy Division’s applied research agenda.

My work has been widely published widely - from peer-reviewed journal articles to policy e-books - and I am a frequent contributor to the public conversation through media interviews and opinion pieces. Across all these platforms, I strive to make research accessible and relevant to diverse audiences, whether policymakers, practitioners, or the broader public.

I hold multiple degrees from the University of Calgary: a Master of Public Policy, a Master of Science, a Bachelor of Arts in International Development, and a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences. My graduate research on pediatric concussion policies and healthcare utilization underscored my expertise in health system performance, while international fieldwork in Ecuador and Ghana gave me firsthand experience with diverse policy environments.

Outside of work, I’m deeply committed to community leadership, having spent over ten years volunteering, mentoring, and serving on nonprofit boards.
