I am a Fellowship Chartered Public Accountant Made by McGill. After years of public practice, I knew that I wanted to give back to the Desautels Faculty of Management, so I devoted many evenings for 10 years to lecturing in the public accountancy program.

McGill taught me not just technical skills, but leadership and the importance of working with people. McGill taught me independence and how to lead by example. McGill taught me entrepreneurial skills which I continue to use in today. For all these reasons I am proud to be an ambassador of McGill University.
