When I’m not at work, you can probably find me here > (either physically or mentally)

A few fun facts about me:

  • I used to be a (semi-competitive) slopestyle skier, but after multiple concussions, a torn ACL, a broken collarbone, two broken noses and countless torn ankle ligaments, I decided I’d better stick to being a weekend warrior

  • I speak fluent French and German- having majored in both languages at university and spent time studying at Sciences Po and Paris VII Universities

  • In 2010, I worked in Events at the Vancouver Winter Olympics by day, and slung hats at the Whistler Hat Gallery by night (I held the record for longest-standing employee for some time)

  • I recently founded my own business- Out Of Office- a community for corporate professionals who are feeling disengaged with their work
