Ryan is a Master of Public Policy student at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. He completed his undergraduate degree at Queen’s University, where he studied commerce with a strong interest in international business, nonmarket strategy, and the environment. Before working at the NATO Association of Canada, Ryan gained experience in public affairs, supporting clients’ government relations needs through strategic research, policy analysis, and stakeholder engagement.
Ryan is particularly interested in work that bridges public policy and business strategy, especially regarding how firms navigate international trade, political risk, and relationships with governments and regulators. He is keen on exploring how businesses engage with public institutions and industry groups to shape policy and adapt to a changing international environment.
Outside of work and studies, Ryan is an avid bass player who loves attending concerts and occasionally performing with a band, even playing in a band during his undergraduate years!
