Before becoming a lawyer, Cassandra spent 15 years working in the service and hospitality industry, serving and developing relationships with a wide range of clientele - from serving at-risk youth in her community to collaborating with the hosts of private galas for international social and interest societies. Throughout that time, she completed undergraduate and graduate degrees in English Literature, giving her clients today the benefit of an advocate with especially strong analytical and communication skills. With her practical, real-world experience, Cassandra approaches every client’s situation according to their one-of-a-kind goals, needs and circumstances.

Since her call to the Ontario Bar, Cassandra has similarly developed a uniquely diverse range of experience within her practice area. Starting at a large, management-side labour and employment firm in Toronto, she later joined a union-side labour firm assisting unions and their members in all manner of labour relations matters. She also worked on the Ottawa Light Rail Transit Public Inquiry, serving as a fact-checker for Commission Counsel, and as part of her law degree completed an internship in Geneva, Switzerland at the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. In addition to her own firm, Cassandra currently acts as counsel at an employment law firm in Toronto.

In her work and outside of it, Cassandra maintains a deep commitment to human rights, including social equity and access to justice. Her interdisciplinary approach to every issue allows her to understand her clients’ situations with all their complexities, and the unique issues they face in trying to overcome them.
