About

With a focus on building relationships, Jessica leads the Clean Energy Frontier program. Her background in economic development and communications combined with a collaborative and data-driven approach to problem solving gives her the ability to build and implement effective strategies.


Prior to joining NII, Jessica worked at the Town of Saugeen Shores, most recently as the Director of Strategic Initiatives. During her time with the municipality, she supported the landing and expansion of many nuclear suppliers, while building relationships to support a smooth transition for these employers and their workforce.


Jessica, her husband and their three young sons can often be found hiking the Bruce Trail or paddling the great waterways which surround the tri-county area.
