The Master of Public Policy and Administration Leadership (MPPAL) and the Master Level Co-op program at YorkU significantly impacted my life and career. This program gave me invaluable public policy insights, learning multi-disciplinary research techniques and evaluation approaches. My education also taught me the importance of collaboration, teamwork, and a commitment to serving the public. These skills and knowledge helped me in my career, and I am now a Senior Policy Advisor at the Treasury Board Secretariat (Inclusive Diversity Office). As I embark on this new career chapter, I remain committed to using my education and experiences to serve Ontarians.
