In addition to using my love of supporting businesses like yours, I am dedicated to several projects inspired by my core values of: Empowerment, Quality Education for All, Community & Collaboration.
Stewarding my Family’s Future with Love and Purpose
-
Parenting my two children, alongside my incredible partner and honest-to-goodness best friend, is the greatest joy of my life. Despite the inevitable challenges that come with it, every day is a reminder of the immense gratitude I feel for being their mother. Witnessing their growth and having the privilege to be present for each milestone is a gift beyond measure.
In a broader sense, this personal joy fuels my professional mission. My commitment to supporting businesses through empowerment and education is driven by the aspiration to contribute to a world that my children, and future generations, will inherit—a world that is, without a doubt, the best it can be. It's not just about business; it's about creating a positive and thriving environment for the ones we love the most.
Enjoying the Beauty of the Southern Georgian Bay Region
-
Drawn by the enchanting waters of Georgian Bay at the young age of 22, I embarked on a life journey guided solely by that magnetic pull. Since then, I've immersed myself in the scenic wonders of this region, finding solace in activities like swimming, boating, and serene walks along the shore—each moment a replenishment for my soul. South Georgian Bay has become an enduring part of my story.
On a professional note, I'm proud to contribute to the vibrancy of this community. One of my non-profit clients, The Institute of Southern Georgian Bay, embodies the fusion of people and place to tackle regional challenges boldly. Together, we harness the power of this remarkable locale to make a lasting impact.
Supporting the Next Generation of Change- Makers
-
In tandem with pursuing my entrepreneurial dreams, I've seamlessly integrated my love for teaching and dedication to empowering young minds. Currently, I lead a dynamic team in expanding The You Power Project, where we provide top-notch virtual empowerment programming for kids aged 10 and above.
In collaboration with two outstanding education leaders, I've spearheaded the establishment of The Academy of South Georgian Bay, a forthcoming brick-and-mortar high school. This venture solidifies our shared commitment to cultivating the next generation of change-makers.
At The Academy, we center our educational philosophy around four core values: A well-crafted life, curiosity, community, and ownership. These principles serve as the cornerstone for an immersive learning experience that transcends traditional academics.
