PRESIDENT/TREASURER

I have lived in Windsor-Essex County my whole life and I have a passion for aquaria and conservation! This led me to pursue a degree in Marine Biology from Dalhousie University and a Master of Environmental Science from the University of Windsor. I have had extensive experience with the maintenance of aquaculture systems and the proper care of aquatic species, with over 15 years of fish-raising experience. I hope to make a difference in my community for future generations to come!

SECRETARY

Originally from Toronto, I moved to Windsor in 2023 and it quickly became home. I started out as a Law Clerk at a downtown family law firm, and then transitioned my career into the Ontario Government. I have served in various capacities across many ministries, and as a public servant, I care about my community and wish to see it thrive.

Building on my past, I am excited to focus on supporting the growth of the Windsor-Essex Aquarium, a project that will strengthen community connection to regional biodiversity.
