My education includes a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Accounting from the University of Ottawa, and a Diploma in Public Safety and Legal Studies from Algonquin College, both earned before joining SPPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout my career, I have held several positions in the banking and medical research sectors, as well as the insurance industry. My professional career offered me the opportunity to explore a variety of opportunities and to gain insight into the present demands in the private and public sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"how-did-you-learn-about-sppa-and-what-compelled-you-to-join-the-school\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did you learn about SPPA and what compelled you to join the School?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>During a discussion with a colleague about the different paths that are available to me, I learned about SPPA. I became more inclined toward pursuing a career in the public sector after more than a decade of advocating for community well-being and sustainability. Upon further research, I found that Carleton University&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sppa\/mase\">Master of Arts in Sustainable Energy<\/a> (Policy) program aligned with my career interests and would provide me with a more solid foundation to achieve my goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"what-are-you-excited-about-doing-in-your-program\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are you excited about doing in your program?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Since federal and provincial policies have such a strong influence on vulnerable communities, and since I wish to assist these communities with improving their quality of life, I am confident that I will be able to strengthen political practices that would provide resources for vulnerable communities throughout the country and perhaps even internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to learning about how to use a roadmap to develop energy solutions for low-income countries, I will also gain a better understanding of how to use a roadmap to develop new energy technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What were you doing\/studying before joining SPPA?
