I get along with everyone, I fortunately have a lot of good friends around me and am looking forward to making more :) !!! Super respectful and diplomatic. I was born and raised in Orangeville, which is a very small town just north of Toronto. I spent the last 5 years in Ottawa for university. I've been working really hard academically and professionally hustling so I'm really happy to be done and looking forward to travelling for a bit - meeting some cool people and making some great friends.

On a professional level - while I was completing my degree I've worked extensively as an Independent Contractor in Event Marketing roles. Some of my favourite contracts included test driving sports cars for Toyota and serving as a Field Manager at RBCBluesFest (one of the largest music festivals in Canada). On an even more serious level - I've worked at the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce in Policy and Communications and volunteered at the Law Office of Khanh VU DUC as a Legal Assistant as well as the Office of Justin Trudeau in a communications role. Further, I founded my own non-profit that got a Letter from the Premier of Ontario.

Currently working as a Resource Manager at a large Staffing firm - Experis-Veritaaq.

Music, Movies, and Books

Mr. Nobody is definitely my favourite movie.

My favourite book is "A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer - moving, intense story, very well written.

I listen to pretty much everything except for screamo and not the biggest fan of country but I'm not too picky. My preference is Indie / Hip hop / Underground / Rap / Chill-step.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got a letter from a previous Premier of Ontario commending my volunteerism efforts - I volunteer extensively. I love it, thus the non-profit - the main reason I got that letter.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a fair bit about Employment Law and the job market... lol.
