In her current role, she is primarily responsible for leading the CNIC’s business expansion, government outreach and advocacy, as well as major strategic activities to advance principled policy work and encourage broad engagement across the industry and academia through initiatives like the annual Canadian Radiotheranostics Leaders’ Summit.
