In addition, I am fluently bilingual in Spanish due to an exchange to Quito, Ecuador.
Originally from northern Saskatchewan, I moved to Alberta in 1998 and have lived in Calgary since 2009 with my husband Pablo and our two daughters, Ivanna and Delia.

Prior to joining Private Wealth, I worked in the banking side of CIBC and thereby have knowledge in credit and day-to-day banking.
My education consists of a University degree with a focus in Financial Analysis. During my schooling, I supported myself and covered all of my tuition costs through various construction jobs. Given this experience, I gained a deep appreciation for hard work and pride myself in being in a constant state of learning and bettering myself every day.
Originally from Albania, my family and I moved to Canada in 2003 and chose to live in the sunny city of Calgary. In my spare time, I enjoy playing sports (particularly soccer, basketball and golf) and spending time with my family and friends.
