“I’m passionate about strategy, getting to know a client’s business so I can anticipate issues, bring the bigger picture into focus, and offer options that are both legally sound and commercially smart. I enjoy working closely with teams to connect the dots across workplace, safety, and injury management issues, particularly in complex areas like psychosocial risk or negotiations.”
