As a chronic optimist and motivational speaker, I've been enjoying sharing my enthusiasm with audiences across Canada.

My passions include telling real-life stories drawn from personal and professional experiences - in pursuit of those passions, I was a CBC Radio freelance journalist and contributed to the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail.

In addition to English and French, I speak Albanian, Turkish, Serbian, Spanish, and German, and am currently learning the American Sign Language.
