Business events have the power to transform communities. They attract investment, showcase innovation, create lasting economic impact, and connect people with ideas that shape the future. That's what drives my passion every day.

As Director, Business Events at Explore Edmonton, I lead strategies that attract national and international conferences, meetings, and conventions that strengthen Edmonton's economy, reputation, and global connections. I work alongside industry partners, clients, and local leaders to position Edmonton as a premier destination for business events.

With more than 20 years of experience in tourism, hospitality, and business events, I have built my career on developing meaningful partnerships, identifying strategic opportunities, and helping organizations achieve successful outcomes. Whether supporting a complex conference bid, developing market strategies, or collaborating with stakeholders across sectors, my focus is always on creating long-term value for both clients and the destination.
