About
I am a policy professional with experience working across a breadth of sectors - arts, culture, health, and financial services. Currently, I work as a Senior Consultant at the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport. Previously, I've worked on regulatory policy at the Ministry of Finance and program development in the Ontario Internship Program at the Ministry of Health. I've also produced workshops, festivals, and networking events with TOES FOR DANCE and Canadian Dance Assembly.
As a pre-professional dancer, my interest in the study of human movement led me to complete a Bachelor of Kinesiology at the University of Toronto. In search of an opportunity to apply my learning in a dance-specific context, I completed a Master of Fine Arts in Dance Science at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance where my research focused on Dance for Health amongst women aged 65+. I was inspired to work in program and policy development after witnessing the population-specific impacts when creativity and the arts are pillars of health services and social care.
I’m a graduate of East London Dance's The Fi.ELD, a practice-based, educational program to develop the future innovators of dance, equipping them with skills and resources to make their ideas happen.
My research has been shared at the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science 2019 Annual Conference in Montreal, Canada and Age Against the Machine: Festival of Creative Ageing in London, England.
