Hilary Martin
Bachelor of Public Affairs and Policy Management (BPAPM)
Master of Political Management (MPM)
After graduating with a BPAPM degree, Hilary wanted to learn more about the nuts and bolts of political work. Her experience in the MPM program introduced her to specific skills, but also offered insight into the ethics and responsibilities of those in politics.
She’s now applying that knowledge in her role as an assistant to an Ottawa-area MPP, where she’s planning events, writing press releases, preparing briefing notes and more.
Eventually, she’d like to conduct public opinion research or even run for political office. She believes her experience in MPM has prepared her well.
“A lot of us found the connections we made with people from different political parties were extremely valuable because we had to find a way to get along and work together,” she says. “We developed valuable connections for the future.”
