  • I am an executive with a technical background in geology and over 30 years of experience in mineral exploration, team building, and corporate leadership across both public companies, M&A transitions and not-for-profits. With a technical foundation in geology, I lead with integrity, strategic foresight, and a commitment to professional excellence and public service.

    I cofounded Champagne Resources/Warrior Gold Inc. and took it from private to public, leading early-stage exploration, capital markets strategy, team building, government liaison, First Nations and community engagement. The property, in the heart of Ontario’s Kirkland Lake Gold Camp continues to advance through a merger I helped shaped, forming Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp.

    I’ve worked across Canada and internationally (Cuba, Ecuador, Venezuela, Mexico, Peru, and Botswana), and continue to believe that sound science, diverse teams, and community relationships are at the heart of impactful exploration.

    I thrive in transitional environments - especially where something new is being built – or needs rebuilding - and bring both technical grounding and clear-headed governance to the table.

    Currently, I serve as Secretary and Director of the Ontario Prospectors Association, helping to rebuild its governance, leadership, and strategic direction. I also serve on the boards of two companies with assets in Latin America and Ontario, contributing to strategy, governance, and capital markets. I’ve also played active roles in revitalizing industry organizations — including Women in Mining Toronto and the Toronto Geological Discussion Group — helping to rebuild structure, strengthen engagement, and support their next chapters. Previously, I served on the board of a Toronto-based community shelter.

    I believe in accountability, collaboration, and speaking with clarity - even when the conversations are hard. Leadership isn’t about the easy moments; it’s about showing up when it counts.
