Bio
I am an active, involved member of the start-up community across Canada. My go getter and entrepreneurial spirit and attitude drives me to contribute to highly successful Canadian comapnies. I currently work as a Customer Success Manager at ProntoForms, and am a 2015 Graduate Fellow for Venture for Canada.

When I am not hard at work you will most likely find me in the kitchen trying a new crazy recipe, or out for a night of trivia trying to master useless facts.
