I work to help businesses grow. From Dartmouth to Ecum Secum. 

As a business development advisor for Invest Nova Scotia, I provide advice and solutions to businesses who export—or who want to export—outside Nova Scotia. I also recommend programs, services and funding opportunities that can assist businesses with their expansion goals. 

My passion for business development was inspired by my parents, who were both entrepreneurs. This early exposure to the challenges and rewards of running a business led me to pursue a career where I could make a difference. I am particularly excited about the potential of Dartmouth and the Eastern Shore—with its mix of urban and rural areas— to become a vibrant hub for innovation and growth. I’m committed to helping businesses in the region access resources, especially those from diverse and underrepresented communities. 

Let’s connect to explore how Invest Nova Scotia can support your business. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn, send me an email, or say hello if you see me around the city. I can often be found on the waterfront, taking in the harbour views with a tea in hand.
