About

With a strong interest in law, parliamentary affairs, and policy, I currently serve as a Parliamentary Affairs Assistant to the Minister of Transport. Previously, I served as a legislative assistant to the Member of Parliament for Fredericton-Oromocto and a parliamentary assistant to the Hon. Senator Bernadette Clement. I also hold experience as a Junior Policy Advisor in Transport Canada's International Relations and Trade branch, as an SLP intern in the office of the Member of Parliament for Niagara Centre, and as an executive assistant at the Canadian Criminal Justice Association (CCJA), where I worked on their national publication, the Justice Report. A proud francophone, I am fully fluent in English, French, Spanish, and German. I am currently serving as the Vice-Chair French of the Young Liberals of Canada (Ontario), the East Regional Coordinator for the Ontario Young Liberals, and as an active Liberal volunteer in the riding of Nepean. Currently finalizing a Joint Honours Bachelor in Economics and Political Science at the University of Ottawa, my academic interests include federal legislation, constitutional and corporate law, and macroeconomics. In my free time, I enjoy competing in undergraduate moot court competitions, cycling, and british parliamentary debate.
