My favourite things include snowboarding, mountain biking, surfing and a good crisis. I dabble in photography and nerd out on politics, international affairs and CBC radio. I’m fascinated by how people think and make decisions and no one will ever accuse me of being afraid of rolling up my sleeves and getting my hands dirty; I pride myself on being someone that is 110 per cent committed to any team that I’m on (while this is a sports analogy, NATIONAL is most definitely included as I consider my colleagues to be teammates).
