I am an energy industry professional with experience in infrastructure asset management, electric transmission and distribution, nuclear power generation, as well as upstream and downstream petroleum operations. I am currently the Manager, Asset Performance with Nova Scotia Power Inc.(NSPI) as part of the Enterprise Asset Management team working to develop, implement, and sustain comprehensive asset management strategies across the utility since 2014.

In 2014 I graduated with a Masters of Science in Nuclear Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology in Lausanne and Zurich where I submitted my thesis titled "A Comparison Between Dynamic PSA Approaches for Integral Treatment of Uncertainties". Previously, I obtained undergraduate degrees with distinction in both Physics (2009) and Chemical Engineering (2012) from Dalhousie University in Halifax. Beyond my present position, I have previous professional experience in various roles with Kernkraftwerk Gösgen-Däniken AG, Bruce Power, Irving Oil Refining, Imperial Oil Resources, and Jacques Whitford/Stantec.
