Believing in Something ething I left the corporate lifestyle because suddenly you know it’s time to start something new and trust the elements around you. Educated in Newfoundland, Ontario and Hawaii where I studied business, human resources and marketing, I know firsthand how cultures are different, but no matter where you are educated, live, or conduct business the commonality is always the same – we continuously look for ways to improve, to make something better. My corporate life provided me so many opportunities; the senior executive positions within real estate, biotech and hospitality enabled me to travel the globe. To witness alternative medicines firsthand in China; work/life balance laws within Europe; meditation from the Hawaiian Islands and right here at home in Atlantic Canada the entrepreneurial spirits of so many hard working individuals, from the farmer to the fisherman, from the scientist to the local soapmaker – all of which has led me to where I am today. My areas of expertise are specifically in communication, marketing and business development. Building long term relationships with my clients and helping local business owners have a voice with niche initiatives is something I strongly believe in. I focus on the “bigger picture” of what it is that’s required to be created within a business, the lifestyle the owner has, and the motivational tactics required to move forward to achieve the tasks at hand and goals put forth. I aim to know all that are currently in this year’s publication, and hope to develop new partnerships with local business owners who have a focus on a healthy lifestyle, products, and services. Whether it be in small business marketing, strategy or growth, I plan to be an active guide and brand ambassador for you all. I am providing you, the reader an opportunity to learn about the fantastic people, products and services right here in Nova Scotia. Let’s continue the belief in our “something good” and together we will continue to grow as a healthy province.
