Proudest 2025 Achievement:

As CEO of Music Publishers Canada (MPC), I work with the MPC members and my team to CREATE, PROMOTE AND PROTECT the value of songs and scores. After all, it all starts with the song. I’m now discussing AI every day with policy makers and academics and believe that AI holds great potential to make our music publishing companies more innovative and efficient. I have also built out an advocacy team that works collaboratively with partners across the creative industries to make sure Canadians understand the value of human artistry. Music publishing is global business for Canadian music publishing companies and MPC supports its members' export priorities with training and export missions. I am also excited to see both the MPC NXTGen membership program and National Women in the Studio Accelerator grow.

One Thing I Wish I Knew at the Start of My Career:

I have learned over my career about the power and success that comes from collaboration. It is important for our sector to work together whenever possible and to reach out to other sectors to build cross-sectoral collaborations. We can all learn from others even when we already have established careers and companies. This type of collaboration has been key to my success and is key to our work at MPC to build important partnerships in Canada and around the globe.
