Consultant

As a qualitative and quantitative researcher, I serve as a special advisor to leaders in public service and the private sector; work on a number of departmental and public service-wide projects focused on the federal Call to Action; and lead projects focused on equity and change. I have completed large-scale projects with Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat, Canadian Heritage, Privy Council Office, and the Office of the Auditor General of Canada.

 In 2021, I was named the inaugural visiting scholar at the Canada School of Public Service through the Jocelyne Bourgon Visiting Scholar Initiative. In this role, I helped shape the learning curriculum offered to federal public servants and executives on topics such as bias, structural racism, and anti-black racism, reaching over 15,000 public servants during my tenure. I continue to work closely with programs that support executive leadership and development in government.

In all of my work, I am interested in historical and structural inequality, as well as impact and measurable outcomes. In 2022, I delivered a historic keynote presentation on the history of merit and its uneven application in public service over the last century. I continue to provide specialized trainings, presentations, and advice to leaders in the public and private sectors.

Currently, I am spearheading a groundbreaking initiative, focused on examining the experiences of the Black Executive community in government. This project - the first of its kind in Canada - is designed to uncover systemic barriers that hinder participation and progression, while shedding light on essential strategies to enhance working conditions and leadership within the federal public service.
