Career Story
Retail wanted to get into fashion buying/merchandising
Spent five summers as a Camp Counsellor
Three years at University for my BA
1st job – Jr. Media Buyer at an Advertising Agency
2nd job – Jr. Account Exec at a Not-for-Profit Ad Agency
3rd job – Communications Co-ordinator at The Greater Toronto Home Builders Association
After that job, I spent the next 25-plus years in the Real Estate Development industry.
The first ten were on the Marketing side, and the later 15 involved planning, designing, marketing, selling, building, occupying and more – 6 condo towers and 500 plus stacked townhomes.
My final project ended in December 2021, and I was at a precipice—no idea what was next. I started working with a coach, and next thing you know, I went down a path of personal development, leading me to realize that with the new knowledge I have and the tools my certifications provided me with, I can help others avoid a lot of the struggles I had in my business and personal lives dealing with unhealthy, dysfunctional, toxic relationships.
