Founder & President of WIL

“I started Women in Leadership because, as an emerging young leader starting out in my career, I was searching for my life purpose. It was important to me to do work that I loved. After graduating from my commerce program at university, I found myself looking for women role models and women leaders in the business world. The landscape for women leaders in business was not what I had expected, and I wondered why there were so few women in leadership positions and so few ways for us to connect. Filling this void became my passion. I saw how important mentors were in my own career, helping me build faith in myself and overcome obstacles. I also saw how they could support others who were carving their own paths while creating a sense of community and belonging in the business world.

As women, there is tremendous power in joining together. Not only do we benefit from shared experiences, but together we can have a massive impact on our children, our families, our workplaces, our economy, and our planet. I want to see more women in leadership because it would make the world a better place with a more peaceful, progressive, and sustainable approach to business, community, and beyond.”
