What does International Women’s Day mean to you?
It is a day to champion and celebrate the strength of people who identify as women. Women are everyday superheroes, and this day serves as a reminder that their unique superpowers should be given the proper space and support to flourish.
I am fortunate to have exceptionally strong women leaders, peers, and friends who support my success as a leader, a peer, a mother, and a friend. I am energized by the strength of other women. I do not take that for granted and also acknowledge that many people here in Canada and around the world are not afforded the same support and opportunities that I have received.
International Women’s Day is a celebration for all—a day to honor the women and people who paved the way before us and to look for ways to champion groups who continue to face barriers and unequal access to opportunities and resources.
What has been the greatest achievement in your career?
I feel very fortunate and appreciative of the amazing career experiences I’ve had over the past 23 years. My career successes have been both rewarding and satisfying, and I have also faced some low points along the way. In my opinion, the low points are just as important as the highs. They remind me of the mental and emotional strength required to define, appreciate, and recognize your own success. I am excited to see what lies ahead.
Why is it important to #AccelerateAction and continue working towards gender equality?
International Women’s Day is an important moment for pausing and reflecting on the current states of our communities and beyond. Creating gender equality and supporting one another are vital if we want to be successful and #AccelerateAction. My hope for the future is that my daughter and children globally will be able to ask, “What if?” when tackling large challenges, rather than asking, “Why not?”.
