She holds a Bachelor of Commerce from McGill University and is a graduate of the University of Toronto Faculty of Architecture. She practised for 15 years and was a Principal with Moriyama & Teshima Architects (MTA) before commencing work with the OAA in 2016. During her time with MTA she was accountable for many aspects of the practice but the majority of her time was spent leading integrated design teams on large public institutional projects. As part of the MTA’s Leadership Management Committee, she was also involved in all areas of the business; governance, operations, marketing/business development, pursuits, staffing and finance. Her current work with the Office of the Registrar allows her to explore the relationship of the OAA’s regulatory framework with the practice of architecture and how it influences the future of the profession in Ontario.
