EMC Canada

Saskatchewan

I’m a researcher, strategist, and facilitator with over 25 years of experience supporting workforce planning, industry growth, and collaborative initiatives across Saskatchewan and Western Canada. My background includes manufacturing sector analysis, regional partnerships, and stakeholder engagement—work that has allowed me to bridge connections between industry, government, and community. I’ve had the opportunity to work across public, private, and nonprofit sectors, with a focus on market intelligence, labour force analysis, organizational development, and strategic planning. My approach is grounded in collaboration and data-driven decision-making. Based in Saskatchewan, I’m actively involved in my local community and committed to reconciliation and ensuring inclusive participation in the province’s manufacturing future.

I invite you to connect with me – any time!
