PharmD · MBA · MFin · RPh
From the dispensary counter to the boardroom — and back again.
Pharmacy regulator, healthcare strategist, and community pharmacist. Two decades across frontline practice, corporate leadership, national credentialing, and public-sector consulting.
I believe in public-interest decision-making, equitable access, and the protection of professional judgment.
What guides my work
01 About
I have been a registered pharmacist in Ontario since 2006, and almost everything I do traces back to the counter.
I owned and operated two Shoppers Drug Mart stores in Toronto for over a decade, leading teams of more than a hundred people. Alongside practice, I spent fifteen years with the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada — rising to Chief Examiner and then Chief Administrator — helping run Canada's national pharmacist licensure examinations.
More recently I advised government and provider clients on strategy, workforce, digital health, and financing in KPMG Canada's healthcare practice. Today I lead strategic pharmacy partnerships at GSK Canada and serve on the Board of the Ontario College of Pharmacists, where I was re-elected in 2026 to a second term.
The thread through all of it: pharmacy works best when the people making decisions about the profession still understand what it feels like to practise in it.
