With each passing year I learn a little more about who I am. As it turns out, I am someone who enjoys dying arts. The more antiquated something is, the more I love it. I take Harp lessons and play for fun. I took ballet for decades and my body has been forever altered. I go to balls and I stay at palaces. I watch old movies and I play old games.
Although my interests are stuck in a rose-coloured version of the past, part of me is forever excited by the future and emerging technology. We're blessed with new ways to think, build and share in our increasingly connected world.
When I was a child, I wanted to be Captain Picard. Now that I've grown up, I realized that it wasn't the role of a starship captain that I aspired to. It was the ability to inspire others and change minds through equality and diplomacy.
My dream is to be able to look back and be proud of all the people I met in this world, and know that I had some influence in helping them to be their best. Now my voyage is to discover how to better understand myself, others and the world by always learning.
I look forward to gaining more wisdom as I get antiquated myself!

I've been a member of American Harp Society and learning for over a decade, but have yet to truly dedicate myself to regular practice due to constant travel and other hobbies. For now, I'm good at putting people to sleep. I hope to become a harp teacher and volunteer therapist after retirement.

Most of my friends are gamers because we had so much fun bonding while developing websites about games, that it evolved into us travelling the world together. I still love video games, since it lead me to appearing on TV shows and magazines, and it was at a TV network where I met my husband.

Since the age of three I've enjoyed Ballet and since highschool I've enjoyed Ballroom dancing. My husband and I love to waltz; we choreographed the dance for our wedding at Casa Loma. We recently attended the opera ball in Vienna, participating in the mitternachts and 2am quadrille & galopp.
My home office is a soft romantic space with books, I fill it with scents and flowers.
My focus is shaping environments that are inclusive and empowered by modeling my own collaboration style as a norm. I'm always learning and volunteering, and each year I take executive programs such as those at Rotman School of Management.
