“I joined AMA as a student board member of BC’s collegiate chapter. When I moved to Toronto to work, I joined AMA Toronto’s board to engage in the local community. I’ve held a variety of roles including President and now VP Finance. Volunteering has helped shape my skills as a leader and marketer and AMA Toronto’s broad community of brand, agency and supplier members has helped me gather perspectives from all sides of the industry.”

“I joined AMA Toronto as an Event Manager 2 ½ years ago to help run AMA’s in-person events. I was new to Canada and wanted to become familiar with the market here.
