I’m an internationally trained lawyer. I studied law in the
United Kingdom with a year abroad in France. While in France, I interned at the European Court of Human Rights. I have obtained a Master’s degree in law with a focus on Banking
and Finance from the McGill University Faculty of Law. Later
I attended the New York University’s Stern School of Business and joined a New York City-based hedge fund as legal counsel.
As a high school student, I led a political initiative to strengthen road safety laws, helping reduce risks for young drivers. A decade later in 2020, during the COVID pandemic, I founded one of Canada’s largest pro bono legal organizations. The aim was to help as many as possible - for free. The satisfaction of that remains a huge memory for me. I mobilized more than 400 graduate lawyers and active students, supported by more than 50 top lawyers trapped at home during COVID, to deliver free services Canada-wide.
Outside of work, I am active and engaged locally— often playing basketball at Nelson Park, running local trails and enjoying Burlington’s restaurants with family and friends.
