Executive Members
PSA Chair and Employment Terms & Conditions Chair
I started with the University in 1997 and can honestly say it has been a pleasure to be part of this environment over the years. My first few positions were with Audit Services, then the Office of the CIO and now with the Library. I currently oversee teams that focus on administration, human resources, financial and facilities support for the Library. I have an undergraduate degree in business and obtained my accounting designation more than 20 years ago. Having taken a keen interest in financial planning, I have served on the Pension Committee of the Board of Governors since 2013 and look forward to contributing to the ongoing efforts to bring sustainability to our pension plans. This is my second stint on the PSA Executive and I look forward to the opportunity to advocate for the highly skilled and dedicated professional and managerial staff on campus.

PSA Member at Large
I have been a part of the University community for 25 years, coming to Guelph from small town Ontario for my undergrad in 1995 - and never leaving! My position at the University is the Manager of Information Technology Services in the College of Arts, working to promote and support/facilitate technology use in teaching, learning, research and administration in COA. I have always appreciated the opportunities to participate on various University working groups and committees over the years including the Campus IT Leaders Group, the University’s United Way campaign and most recently the PSA’s Bylaw Review Committee which cemented my interest in participating on the PSA’s Executive Team. I have been fortunate enough to experience the University of Guelph from a staff, undergraduate student (B. Comm) and graduate student (MBA; Sustainable Commerce) perspective, and I believe these experiences have helped me make positive contributions to the College of Arts and the wider University community. I look forward to working with, and learning from, this group for at least the next couple of years.

My current role is Manager of Research Communications in the Office of the VP, Research. In this role I am fortunate to work with faculty and staff across campus and I think these connections will help me serve our membership and P&M staff as a Member at Large on the PSA Executive Committee.
