She also led the development of an Environmental Health and Safety program and created a central finance unit within the faculty.

Rose  has past experience in several roles with Alberta Health Services from 2001 to 2012 including as director of Business Advisory Services from 2009 to 2012. She is a Chartered Professional Accountant and has a Bachelor of Commerce from the U of A.

Rose actively volunteers with an alumni mentorship program and a Nordic ski club. Please join me in congratulating Rose on her new role and welcoming her to the CSM.

Sincerely,
