Simultaneously, she secured the consistency and focus of the business that contributed to the highest result the corporation has experienced. She has led by example and her areas of expertise, including strategic leadership, effective communication, financial management, enterprise risk management, driving results, as well as working through COVID-19 and managing the TEAM through the pandemic have been readily apparent. These competencies and characteristics will continue to serve her, our TEAM, and the people of New Brunswick going forward.
