Jonathan is an experienced Canadian-American political campaigner and policy practitioner. His roles in progressive campaigns have taken him across Canada, from British Columbia to Newfoundland, as a campaign manager, political data analyst, and central campaign strategist. He has also worked in Texas, helping a large women's health organization advocate for their preferred gubernatorial candidate. In 2015, he transitioned from campaign work to government work, first as a writer for the Prime Minister of Canada and later as a senior advisor for the Canadian Defence Minister. In his most recent role, he led a large team working directly with the Minister to shape a more inclusive and effective military that put Canadians' safety as a top priority. This experience allowed him to contribute to the military's well-being, allowing him to travel across Canada and craft positive policy outcomes, including in his areas of interest, such as the Canadian Arctic, Afghanistan, and inclusivity initiatives. His nonvocational passion is travel. In 2022, he took time out of the workforce to fulfill a lifelong dream of long-term travel. Since then, he has been around the world - from Kyrgyzstan to Egypt to Paraguay - building relationships and language skills that will serve him for a lifetime. His ultimate goal is to see every UNESCO World Heritage Site. This summer, he returned to Canada to complete his MPA internship working as an AI Governance Fellow at the Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute in Montreal.
