I’ve worked on information privacy law issues for over 15 years. I was first exposed to the area when I worked as a research manager at the Centre for Innovation Law and Policy at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law.

I’ve previously worked as an analyst at the Information Privacy Commission (Ontario). I currently teach a course on Information Privacy Law and Technology at Ontario Tech University in Oshawa. My current research concerns privacy as it relates to connected and automated vehicles. This research has been funded by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Working in these various roles has provided me with a unique insight into privacy from both theoretical and practical perspectives. My information privacy law practice involves advising corporate clients on their compliance obligations with Canadian privacy legislation.

I am familiar with federal and provincial legislation such as the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and Ontario’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) the Municipal Freedom of Information Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA) as well as the Ontario Personal Health Information Privacy Act (PHIPA).

My work in this area involves (among other things) preparing privacy policies, conducting privacy audits and providing opinions on the permissible collection, use and disclosure of personal information in technology settings.
