I am an associate in the firm’s Employment, Human Rights and Labour practice group. I advise employers and employees on a wide range of labour and employment matters including terminations, accommodations, workplace investigations, and workplace disputes.

My practice is built on creative problem solving, open communication, and strategic advice. I understand that issues related to employment can be challenging for both employees and employers alike, and I take pride in helping clients resolve disputes and manage their employment relationships.

I obtained a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in French Studies, a Certificate in Law, and a Juris Doctor degree from Queen’s University. After completing my Articles at a mid-sized Ottawa law firm, I worked as in-house counsel for a national union, and then joined Mann Lawyers as an associate.

In law school, I volunteered with Queen’s Legal Aid, Family and Children’s Services, the Girl Guides, and ElderDog. I also am a member of the Law Society of Ontario, the County of Carleton Law Association, the Ontario Bar Association, and the Advocacy Club.

Outside of the office, I enjoy reading, gardening, skiing, and taking my three dogs on long walks in local conservation areas.
