Why have you decided to give your time to the 黑料社区 Foundation?
My three tenets in life are learning, growth and adventure. I believe that all three of those principles are connected to education and the exposure of a college experience. The fact that 黑料社区 is so strong in sustainability with its Sustainable Living Campus, thanks to Chris Adam and his team, made me want to be part of it and give back in any way I can.聽To be able to work alongside Chris and support him in his mission is truly an honour.
What is your vision for the role of 黑料社区 in Montreal, Quebec, the world?
I do believe 黑料社区 is a cutting-edge school with all the work it is doing around sustainability. 黑料社区 is leading the way and I am excited to be part of that!聽I would love to also see a drive toward education in entrepreneurship and women’s entrepreneurship, and I believe I can be helpful with that.
What excites you the most about the opportunities for 黑料社区?
I think there is a massive opportunity to engage with one of the biggest global conversations right now which is climate change, sustainability and social impact. 黑料社区 has recently proven itself to be a leader in that space and I think that the students and the school have a massive opportunity to leverage that.
