New Adventures

January 29, 2020

New adventures are a part of life and, today, as I hung up the phone with a student today, I sat for a moment and took it all in. It was an amazing chat. The prospective student was getting all of their ducks in a row to make their dream come true – to start… Read More New Adventures

Walking Through The Door

August 29, 2018

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

Hockey & My Marketing Mind

June 6, 2018

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

May 23, 2018

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

To Those Who Wait

March 7, 2018

“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

Hello Goals

January 24, 2018

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

The Extra Mile

November 8, 2017

“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

Two Steps Forward

October 25, 2017

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

Determination & Inspiration

October 4, 2017

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

Just Isolate “X”

September 29, 2017

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”

Thank you to everyone who made this weekend so incredibly memorable! 🥰❤️
