“Women face many challenges and being part of an organization that’s not afraid to ask the hard questions has provided me a space to ask the same of myself and what I need. Being part of this community of incredible women has empowered me to pursue interests I was once afraid to - stand up paddling, singing with the Vancouver Symphony, and recently passing my Project Management Professional Certification. I feel grateful for the inclusion, knowledge, and encouragement She Summits spreads.”
