My love of the outdoors stems from growing up in a small town in the Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada, where hiking, biking, camping, fishing, skiing, snowmobiling and canoeing were all routine activities. In 2014, I moved away to go to the University of Ottawa to study Commerce. I didn’t go expecting to become a marketer, but throughout various co-op placements, I discovered that I was very passionate about the field. Over the course of my university years, I lived in Ottawa, ON, Montreal, QC, and Paris, France. Upon graduation, I got a job at a federal government agency called Invest in Canada and have been working there since as a Digital Marketing Officer.

The experiences I had in all the places I've lived were phenomenal, but I always felt like I was missing one thing – the outdoors.
