Cafley brings extensive experience at the University of Ottawa to the job, as well as expertise in the area of special event management. She most recently worked as liaison manager in Strategic Enrolment Management. Previously, she was a special projects officer with the Alumni and Development Office and liaison and communications officer with the Faculty of Engineering.
