I was born and raised in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. My undergrad is in Business Administration with a Marketing specialty. I played competitive volleyball for 10 years. I started a pet care company at age 17 and ran it for 5 years, I had a life changing experience with The Adecco Group as part of a global talent search, I spoke at entrepreneurship and leadership conferences, I competed on sports teams and the debate team for my business school, and I had a whole lot of fun along the way.

My family and I were always night owls and it wasn’t uncommon to find us hanging out in the kitchen at 1am chatting about life.

I dated my husband long distance for 2 years (I was in Canada, he was in the US). Shortly after we were married, we spent a few months in California. We loved it there and spent a lot of time at the beach (ask me how I got over my fear of the ocean!).

In August 2021 we moved to Salt Lake City, Utah so he could attend medical school. I had to wait a year and a half to get my Permanent Residency and resume my normal life in the US!

We love our foster-fail kitty Jean Val Jean, anything outdoors, reading, sports, and health/personal growth. We have made great use of our IKON passes and have done a lot of skiing this year!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always had an interest in personal development. I want to be intentional about crafting a life I love and improving myself as a person.

I love to read (James Clear, Ryan Holiday), watch YouTube (Tom Bilyeu Impact Theory), and listen (Tim Ferris, Ed Mylett) to anything that will help me evaluate what is working for me and what needs changing.

I enjoy attending conferences, networking events, and meetups to connect with new people that inspire me.

I love optimizing my own life to make things better for my family and those around me.

Favourite quote: "Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come."

I believe in being authentic, choosing joy, working hard, and having integrity.

Having time off while I wait for my US immigration work permit to process has allowed me to explore a lot of new things! I completed home renovations, volunteered at the animal shelter, started writing, spent time making new friends at volleyball, reading, and more! It has been so enjoyable. But I’m thrilled to now kickstart my product career.
