After almost 30 years representing the insurance industry, my enthusiasm for my chosen profession was waning. My focus was fixed on the management and operations of a law firm, taking me away from what makes me truly happy, practising the law.

It was important for me to do something in my career where I felt I was giving back to people, so, in June, I joined the Sexual Abuse group at Jellinek Ellis Gluckstein Lawyers. I am humbled to be part of an incredible team and I am looking forward to many years of advocating on behalf of sexual assault survivors. My passion for the law has been reignited.

Crossing over to the plaintiff side is a huge change for me. I was born in Hamilton and when I graduated from law school in 1994, I returned to the city and began articling for the law firm where I would spend the next 29 years.
