Paola Brodsgaard

I have been running my own business for the past 16 years. I am naturally a very compassionate person who values connection. It is an integral part of being human. I have always, from a young age, enjoyed taking care of people. In fact, the first volunteering I did was in Edmonton when I was still in high school at a seniors lodge. Being an independent business owner has instilled in me great time management skills, resilience, adaptability and resourcefulness. Verbal and written communication has been important in running my business. I have raised two boys and am currently, with my husband, raising our daughter. Having children and being a Mom teaches you to plan, prioritize, manage crises and problem-solve. All these skills in combination would make me a great fit fo the job.
