With a strong dedication to my roles as a wife, mother, and community supporter, I have successfully handled multiple responsibilities while excelling as a public speaker, Professor, and business owner. Throughout the past 21 years, I have honed my leadership skills by managing my own business, speaking at multiple events and conferences, and teaching International post-graduate students at Fanshawe. These experiences have given me a solid skill set and a deep understanding of diverse cultures. In addition, I have organized a London-wide charity toy drive since 2014, making a positive impact on the community while supporting over 8000 children. Now, I am thrilled to bring my exceptional qualities, skills, and experience to contribute as a valuable faculty member at Ivey Business School.
