I have a Bachelor of Applied Science in Neuroscience and Mental Health Psychology from the University of Toronto Scarborough, and I am currently the Director of Business Development at EHN Canada, a leading provider of mental health and addiction services. My core competencies include strategic business development, account management, and sales strategy. In my current role, I support partners nationally in the development of mental healthcare solutions for the betterment of their employees, members, and/or citizens. I leverage my neuroscience and psychology background to understand the needs and challenges of various stakeholders, and to propose evidence-based and tailored interventions. I also collaborate with a diverse and passionate team of clinicians, managers, and executives, who share the same vision of improving access and quality of care for people struggling with mental health and addiction issues. I am motivated by the impact and value that our services bring to our partners and clients, and I am always looking for new opportunities to expand our reach and influence.
