My philosophy in life is to leave the world a better place than the one I entered. This mission guides me in both my personal life and my professional work, whether it’s the next step in my career or how I choose to support my family and community.As a long-time resident of Edmonton, I love this stand-out Canadian city’s commitment to cultivating a vibrant business community and a thriving place for families to grow and develop. Giving back to the community is an integral part of my life. In addition to my position as VP of Business Development at Kasian and Chair of the Board at the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce, I currently serve on the Alumni Council at the University of Alberta as a councilor, the Alberta Association of Architects as a councilor, and the Universal Design Network of Canada as a board member. I consider myself very fortunate to wake up every morning and enjoy what I do each day. Whether I’m working on a design project for a client, engaging with project stakeholders, or building consensus amongst committee members, I love solving a challenge that leaves a positive impact.-- || 2024 Board Chair of the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce || Having lived in Bombay, Los Angeles, Dubai and Edmonton, I can confidently say that Edmonton provides opportunities for families to grow and develop like no other city does. From access to good quality housing, secondary and post-secondary education, healthcare, entertainment and recreation, Edmonton provides a complete package.
