I have a passion for relationship building, community partnerships and bringing people and causes together. I strive to connect people in a welcoming atmosphere that is inclusive, respectful, fun, and conducive to collaboration and innovation. As a young entrepreneur, I owned and operated several BeaverTails franchises. I maintained high standards of product quality and customer service and coached staff to deliver an all around unique and friendly experience to customers. In April 2017, my entrepreneurial spirit was reinvigorated as, together with two partners, we launched the online store MomFriends.ca. At Mom Friends, we package postpartum care kits to provide moms with the essential items they need in those first weeks after birth. Currently, I'm Managing Director at Impact Hub Ottawa, a community and coworking space located in downtown Ottawa that inspires, connects & enables people to take action for a more just and sustainable world.Specialties include: relationship management, volunteer engagement and management, project management, team building, leadership, strategy development, social finance, stakeholder relations, partnerships, community building, public speaking, facilitation, budgeting, digital marketing, event management, sponsorship.
