My parents are passionate entrepreneurs, and my siblings and I all inherited their drive. Moving to Edmonton in an Oldsmobile cutlass supreme in the '90s, my parents initially started a small Chinese BBQ meat house business. My siblings and I would spend many late nights helping prep the meat and desserts to sell the following morning. My parents would always find unique ways to spend quality time with us despite their busy schedules. We put a lot of mileage on our beloved Oldsmobile, taking it on many family trips to the mountains. We also loved to go fishing, apple picking, and sightseeing together as a family.
I will never take the sacrifices that my parents made for us growing up for granted. For 9 years, my Dad and I were separated from my mom and siblings to help secure our new life in Canada. This was a very difficult time, but the best decision for our family, for generations to come. When we were finally reunited, it was the best homecoming you could have ever imagined; having both of my parents and all of my siblings to share my life with again was simply amazing!
Finally settled in Edmonton, I went to NAIT and graduated with a diploma in Telecommunication. I worked for Telus in the Great White North, in the small, quaint town of High Level, Alberta. I ended up receiving an education in life along with my work experience. One night, as I was driving on an icy lake in the bleak winter months, I wondered why anyone would choose to live in such isolation, where the only way in and out is by ice road or bush plane. I realized these people chose to stay because of the community they shared and their desire to maintain their heritage. This experience changed me, and when I moved back to Edmonton, I knew I had to stay true to who I was in all capacities of my life.
