Comments

Since graduating from M-A, my family moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, where I attended the University of British Columbia (UBC) and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a minor in Spanish Literature. I was a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority, where I held the offices of Recruitment Chair and Panhellenic Chair. I also served as the Panhellenic Recruitment Chair and got to travel to Greek conferences in California and Georgia. I met my husband in one of my Poli Sci classes in 1989 and we got married in 1995. We are parents of Arabella (also a UBC grad in Biology, now completing a Masters' in Women and Children's Health Sciences), and a son, Magnus (currently studying business). We live in beautiful Vancouver, BC. I began working for the stock exchange in Public Affairs in 1995 and have spent 29 years in the Canadian Capital Markets. My profession is Investor Relations/Corp Comm for public companies and I currently work for two companies: in mining and cannabis, overseeing the listing of the companies on the various stock exchanges, engaging with the investors and writing all shareholder communication. I love living in Canada and in Vancouver, where the mild weather, and the proximity to the ocean and mountains makes it an ideal setting to live, work and raise a family. My husband has a visual effects company and we have travelled extensively throughout North and South America and Europe. I give back to the community by volunteering with a number of charities, with World Vision and Loved at Last Dog Rescue being my most active.

School Story

M-A was fantastic and I cherish the memories of the many who made my high school experience so fun. Dancing in all the musicals, singing in choir and being one of the drill team captains were some of my most memorable times.
