And off I went, guided by my interests in things military.

In 2000, I graduated from Queen's University with my Bachelor of Arts in Political Studies. My classes focussed on foreign policy and international relations. But my interest wasn't satisfied.

Soon after, I started the Masters of Strategic Studies program at the University of Calgary's University of Calgary. There, I was immersed in classes on strategic thinking and at conferences on defence and security issues. I wrote and successfully defended my thesis on strategic planning and vision within Canada's Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces. I even researched and co-wrote some policy reports and gave interviews to the media (mostly the French CBC, mais bien sur!).

Now... now I long to get to the next level: furthering my career in the research, development, and support of Canada's defence policy!
