Tell us about your past experience (where did you go to school, previous jobs, volunteer work, etc.)
I went to McGill University and studied Business, majoring in Accounting. I started working at Pricewaterhouse Coopers as a Summer Student and started there full-time when I finished my Undergrad and received for my CPA designation. I left PwC after 5 years to work for RSA Insurance in Finance. Although I have a background in Finance, I always wanted to pursue Real Estate and while on maternity leave with my 2nd son, I went for it and got licensed. I volunteer at the Canadian Celiac Association as an active Board member. This organization means alot to me as my 3 year old was diagnosed with Celiac when he was just 18 months. A portion of each of my sales will go towards donating to the CCA.
