I was not raised a city girl; I was raised in a small town with a population of three hundred and fifty bordered by an Indigenous community of six hundred in northern Ontario Canada with the nearest town being a six hour drive away. I am one of six siblings with the world’s most amazing and patient parents.  We lived off the natural resources in our own backyard, surrounded by water, where we ate freshly caught fish, hunted deer, moose and partridge, picked wild berries and ate organic before it was even a thing. I remember my first business when my parents had us start our own chicken egg business where we gathered and sold fresh eggs daily.  That is when the spirit of entrepreneurship caught my heart. 

My father taught me to be an entrepreneur.  He built from nothing his own charter airline which later expanded into a larger outpost business. This is where my siblings and I learned our true work ethic with a deep knowing of responsibility, fairness and integrity.  My father taught me to be resourceful, that things do not need to be complicated, simplicity was critical and there really wasn’t a problem or issue that couldn’t be solved, particularly from a first principles approach.  

My mother taught me to lead life with grace.  She was the town nurse and her ability to care for others was and still is heroic.  She always put others before herself and she taught me to be kind and humble. I learned at a young age that everyone mattered. That we are all equal and that equality was to always be the driver in everything I do.  She showed me that being kind to people was as important as being kind to the earth. Today, due to my upbringing, alongside my diverse background from travelling the world, I take pride in developing myself to be the kind of leader that will actually make a difference in my lifetime.  

I knew from a very young age that I wanted to travel, elevate businesses and help people. Today I am honoured to be part of an industry where I get to spearhead social responsibility projects that are making a positive difference for the environment and their surrounding communities. 

My goal now is to tap into this existing experience and knowledge and really create with our clients a vision and executable implementation plan that will not only elevate business performance but will develop mutually beneficial partnerships with the people and all stakeholders.  My team and I are committed to creating a culture where our clients REALLY get the impacts of not operating with integrity. I am proud to say, my team at RJC Global Impact is just like family and was hand selected by me, not only for their diverse expertise, but most of all for their diverse hearts.  I thank you for the opportunity to be of service to you and your organization and look forward to creating a better world for our future generations.
