I was a rebellious, A.D.D. diagnosed only child with a big personality and an even bigger desire in my heart: to help people break free from who they think they need to be and become the spirit they were born to be especially in business. |
In my 20’s I built a wealth of experience working in business development, sales, marketing, promotions, event leadership and media with Rogers Radio, Chum, Corus Group, KVOS TV, Coca Cola, and Royal Caribbean International. I was an Emcee and Host for over 200 activities onboard a Cruise Ship and for the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay across Canada. Those were some of my fondest memories. Those positions allowed me to gain invaluable skills not only in speaking and presenting but in Marketing, Media and Entertainment. I got a good glimpse of my light through the work I was doing.
I took an intern job as a Producer/Director/Host of a travel TV Show where I first got a feeling for TV Production. I had a dream when I was 18 that I wanted to own my own TV Show one day and thought this position might help get me there… and it did!
I became an Executive Director and TV Star on my own show called the GOtoGAL which aired on a local TV station. This was a huge actualization and dream come true for me.

When I turned 30 I met my husband working on that show and we decided to open our own video storytelling company SPIRO Creative. We share stories of good people doing great work in the world. We’ve been fortunate to tell over 2000 stories of amazing people creating positive change and love the work we get to do together. We’ve even won 2 awards! I also started my own talk show called “Passionpreneur TV” that aired on Telus.
Being behind the lens on video shoots I would see so many people, especially women afraid to really share their light. They’d let fear, anxiety, or worry hold them back from being who they are. They’d be afraid of what people would think or say about them. Or they didn’t think they knew enough or were ready to step into the spotlight.
My heart craved to help these women with big heart messages show up more confidently and share their light (self-expression) freely with the world. I wanted to help them achieve their business desires so together we could create more positive change in the world.
My mission is to create a world full of LIGHT LEADERS; women (and men:) who feel self-expressed in the work they get to do, make a good living doing it and know how to SHARE IT – so we can make a positive difference in the lives of others.
What I believe will happen once we all liberate our light within is we’ll create new dynamics on how the world works and what we deem important. And best of all we will change the way we do business to be PRO people and PRO planet before profit. This is my big vision, my big “WHY” and YOU are an integral part of the change.
Together we will create a world where everyone feels free to show up exactly as they are and build businesses that matter.
