Professional Background:
By day, I am a sport (event) management and governance professor at the University of Ottawa and in the Olympic Solidarity MEMOS (Executive Masters in the Sports Organization Management) program. By night, I am an AWAI-certified copywriter specializing in B2B (especially white papers and case studies).
With over $1.5 million in grants under my name, I am a Research Fellow of the North American Society for Sport Management and the only sport management researcher to receive the Government of Ontario’s Early Researcher Award.
I have consulted for many organizations (e.g. International Olympic Committee and the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages). I’ve been a competitive figure skater, coach, volunteer, and administrator, as well as having worked for major sports events (e.g. Olympic Winter Games). I have given over 100 international conference and keynote presentations and been interviewed by the media over 40 times.
