Alina-Mona is a lawyer who’s practice focuses on labour and employment law. After starting out in private practice at a boutique firm practicing in these fields, she pursued as a lawyer in the labour and employment team in Canada’s only unionized bank and later became the first chief of labour relations after having practised for the department of labour and employment for a large federal corporation.

Prior to joining Latitude, Alina-Mona acted as the liaison between her employer and various external investigators, ensuring the fast, adequate and effective care of mandates for investigations pertaining to harassment, violence, discrimination, and racism, among others, as well as the proofing of investigative reports to ensure mandates’ accuracy and that appropriate regulatory frameworks were applied.

Alina-Mona holds an undergraduate degree (with distinction) with a specialty in French studies and a thesis in Cameroonian literature as well as an undergraduate degree in education. Prior to law school, she taught French in a Montreal high school for nearly 10 years.
