Leadership That Inspires Action

Leadership is not about a title—it’s about influence, impact, and making a difference. As a leader in the nuclear industry, I’ve learned that the true essence of leadership lies in resilience, adaptability, and the ability to inspire others to reach their full potential.

My Leadership Philosophy

  • Empowering Others: Leadership is about lifting others up, fostering collaboration, and encouraging innovation.

  • Lifelong Learning: I believe great leaders never stop growing. I continually refine my skills through reading, mentorship, and seeking feedback.

  • Purpose-Driven Action: My focus is always on creating meaningful, lasting change—whether it’s advancing diversity and inclusion, ensuring environmental stewardship, or shaping the future of energy.

Key Leadership Highlights

  • Trailblazer in Nuclear Leadership: First female Control Room Shift Supervisor at Pickering Nuclear Power Plant (Units 5-8) and among the few to hold a Shift Manager license from the Canadian government.

  • Strategic Visionary: Led the development of Canada’s national strategy for radioactive waste management, a pivotal initiative shaping the future of nuclear sustainability.

  • Team Builder: Successfully built a team from scratch at NWMO to implement the Integrated Strategy for Radioactive Waste, creating a high-performing group aligned with strategic objectives.

  • Mentor & Advocate: Committed to fostering diversity and inclusion, increasing the number of female participants in federally licensed nuclear operations programs by 30%.

Speaking & Coaching

I am passionate about sharing my leadership journey and lessons with others. As a keynote speaker, panelist, and moderator, I address topics like:

  • Resilient Leadership in High-Stakes Environments

  • The Role of Leadership in Fighting Climate Change

  • Fostering Innovation in Energy and Waste Management

I’m also completing my certification as a speaker with the John Maxwell Leadership Team, deepening my ability to inspire and guide others.
