I find the best fit for your advertising, promotional and sponsorship dollars, connecting you with the right buyers.

I work towards helping to evolve our events year after to year, working to ensure we stay first class as an association. I feel as though I know how to bring the right people together to make the ‘magic’ happen.
I like that I come to a place everyday that is a ‘family’ work environment and the fact that it is our members that motivate us to strive to be better at what we do. Our job is never done.

Directly support and serve as the main point of contact for chapter and sector group activities and events.

In my position as Controller i am tasked with ensuring the association has accurate & consistent financial records. It is evident that volunteerism and member buy-in is what keeps the profession strong.

Lead the day-to-day operations of Landscape Ontario, the Professional Development team, the Membership Services team, and responsible for all activities related to managing positive relationships with members and chapters. Working to support the efforts of all the staff, committees, Chapters, Board of Directors, and members of Landscape Ontario.

“I help Landscape Ontario members tell their stories! I write features for our two publications: Landscape Trades and Landscape Ontario Magazine, and host the Landscape Ontario Podcast. You’ll often find me with camera in hand, either taking photos or videos of gorgeous gardens and fascinating people. I’m also the staff support for the Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Committee.

If you have a story idea to help elevate the profile of professional landscapers and horticulturalists, let’s connect!”
