I have had the opportunity to walk through the doors of Loyalist College on many occasions. As a child, I entered the college as the daughter of two alumni; my Dad was also instructing at the college part-time. After graduating from Queen’s, I decided to attend the post-grad public relations program. While I didn’t think… Read More Walking Through The Door
I have spent a lot of time in hockey arenas over the years. From marketing in the OHL to road trips with friends, and more recently playing hockey, I have developed a love of arenas. As strange as it may sound, there’s something so calming about good music blasting from the speakers and the sound… Read More Hockey & My Marketing Mind
Predictably unpredictable – I feel like this is one of the best ways to describe life. You hear about the fact that the only thing that is consistent in life is change. So why not embrace a little unpredictability? A predictable and cyclical life has never been the life for me. Where’s the fun in always doing… Read More Predictably Unpredictable
“Good things come to those who wait.” It popped into my head a while ago and I haven’t been able to shake it. Good things… come to those who…wait? You mean …sit still (look pretty)… and wait? Yup – just throwing in a Daya joke there too. Hmm. Okay. I have to admit this motto… Read More To Those Who Wait
As I’ve been writing for weeks now, I did not make a new year’s resolution. Now, I am perplexed as I am taking a class on self-regulated learning (towards the master’s degree) and our next task is to establish a goal which we will be reporting on the progress of. Those of you who follow… Read More Hello Goals
“Have you guys started your final project yet?” “We’re actually headed to Toronto next week for the interview.” “Wowwww… that’s ambitious!” That was a recent conversation I had with a student in my commerce marketing class. I thought it was interesting that they saw us doing an in-person interview as “ambitious.” In my world –… Read More The Extra Mile
Ever heard the saying “two steps forward, one step back”? When you Google the saying you actually get an article about how growth isn’t linear. “For every peak, there is a valley,” the article read. For every valley though, we learn to appreciate the peaks more. Today was a peak of a day for me.… Read More Two Steps Forward
Yesterday in class we were told a story of a girl who wanted a job so badly. A job that didn’t exist. A job that she wasn’t going to find on the internet or achieve by sitting on her ass and wishing. So, she took initiative. She took risks. She went where few would go.… Read More Determination & Inspiration
Late is better than never, right? Unfortunately, my blog post escaped me this week, because (to be honest) my time management has been a bit wishy-washy lately. I’m 100% against the glorification of “busy,” so let me say that life has been wonderfully busy. Between a full-time job I love, yoga three times a week,… Read More Just Isolate “X”
This time of year always sparks up a new sort of energy within me. Thinking about all the students moving off to school for the first time or even the fresh batch of graduates that are just starting their “adulthood journey” triggers me to reflect and appreciate. Over the years, my perspective has changed greatly… Read More School Begins
