And away we go!

My goal is not to convince you to hire me. My goal is to convince you to meet me for a coffee or in these times a video chat. And hopefully, as we move along the hiring process, I go from a potential to a sure thing. You see, that’s one of my skills; being able to breakdown down a goal into concrete tasks, chip away at the obstacles, and deliver on the opportunities. The good ole divide and conquer. I pride myself on collaboration, creativity and thinking outside the box. I believe there’s no such thing as an original idea, rather original perspective and that’s how innovative solutions come to life.

Below you will find snippets of my work. Here you will find my resume. If you wish to learn more contact me through the Cup of Joe page.

SmallTalk

"Snapchat usability with Evernote capability, geared for mental health."

SmallTalk was a continuation of my master's thesis work, in which I created a prototype app to help capture triggers and trauma as well as track mood shifts in-person therapy sessions.
SmallTalk was accepted to the SocialVentures Zone incubator at Ryerson University.
I had raised $56,000 and worked with university students to test and design.
Started a two year clinical trial with Queen's University and Telus Health.
Worked with jack.org, Morneau Shepell, Centre for Aging Brain Health Innovation and Aleafia.

Committed to connecting the Toronto/Waterloo region innovation corridor through two-way all-day GO

A regional transit advocacy group made up of a coalition of “business leaders, innovators and job creators” including corporations such as Google, Manulife, Challenger, Shopify, the Toronto Airport Authority and others.
Ran communications work including press releases, social media and town halls with Metrolinx, chambers of commerce, business and community leaders.

Here's an article explaining the goals and members of Connect the Corridor coalition.

I also hosted the Twitter account during live events, announcements and posted relevant content.

CLAC: Fair and Open Tendering in Toronto

CLAC is an independent, all-Canadian labour union.

A private member’s bill amended the provincial Labour Relations Act of 1995 to exempt certain public sector employers, in this case, school boards and municipalities, from province-wide collective bargaining agreements that govern the construction industry.
#FairAndOpenTO was backed by unions and tradespeople, small businesses "who wanted the freedom to choose"
Worked with a marketing agency to build out an online presence and some traditional media primarily in Toronto but some reach in Hamilton and Waterloo region.
Had a very tight schedule given the timeframe and sensitivity of the bill.

Here's the link to the #FairAndOpenTO page.
