Q: What motivates you?
A: Watching people I respect and admire in action motivates me to want to be a better person and a better professional.
Q: If you could meet anyone in the world who would it be?
A: Maybe Lorne Michaels. I'm a huge Saturday Night Live fan.
Q: What do you enjoy about living in Northern Ontario?
A: Without a doubt, it's being close to my family. I spent eight years away from Northern Ontario and while it was a great experience, it was never home because my family wasn't there.
Q: What did you want to be when you grew up?
A: I come from a family of teachers, so I always thought I would teach. It wasn't until I graduated from Laurentian University that I decided to try to pursue a post-graduate degree in business. This past year, I taught a public relations class at Cambrian College, and got an appreciation for how much work it is to teach.
Q: What makes you happy?
A: There is nothing that makes me happier than hearing my two daughters giggle together.
