Elected Vice-President Operations of PDAC

Starting my 2026–27 term with a focus on practical systems, continuity and stronger support for the PDAC Executive.

I’m delighted to have been elected Vice-President Operations of PDAC for the 2026–27 term. After serving as a Member-at-Large, I started this role in September 2026 and am now taking on a larger role in keeping the Executive’s work organized, continuous and effective.

As part of this position, I also serve as a member of two University of Calgary committees: the Research and Scholarships Committee and the Joint Worksite Health and Safety Committee.

My priorities are practical: introduce responsible AI-assisted workflows into PDAC’s everyday work, collaborate with VP Communications to improve the systems behind the website and social media, and support early preparation for the next collective agreement. I’ll also bring more than five years of office-management experience to the role. My aim is simple—to help the President and Executive spend less time on administration and more time delivering for postdocs.
