Alumni Spotlight
Celebrating the people and stories that make our alumni community thrive
The WMI & Order Alumni Spotlight series highlights leaders from across our alumni community. Each feature shares a member’s story, experiences, and advice - offering practical takeaways, inspiration, and a deeper sense of connection.
We’re starting with leadership and board members to set the tone for the series, and then we’ll expand to alumni from every cohort, industry, and region. Together, these spotlights will build a catalogue of insights and stories that reflect the strength and diversity of our alumni network.

What’s something you’re working on right now that excites you?
Allied Therapy is thrilled to be supporting adults with ADHD through a new pilot with NSHA. We’ve developed a program that offers free, practical support to anyone in Nova Scotia who can benefit through direct access to Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and Board-Certified Behaviour Analysts. Seeing the early impact has been incredibly energizing.
What’s been one of the biggest lessons from your professional journey?
The power of having a clear “Why.” When your business is deeply aligned with your values, decisions become easier, momentum builds, and the right opportunities have a way of showing up.
What does being part of WMI Alumni mean to you?
It means being surrounded by remarkable perspectives, hard-earned experience, and genuine support as my company continues to scale. I’ve learned so much from my forum ELP17 already, and I’m grateful for the chance to keep learning from the board and the broader community.
Any advice you’d give to fellow members navigating growth or change?
Be kind to yourself when things get messy and don’t hesitate to lean on your forum. That’s what they’re there for.
Just for fun: What’s one thing people might be surprised to learn about you?
I’m surprisingly competitive when it comes to board games, friendly but definitely competitive. I keep a full toy library at the clinic, which conveniently means I can “practice” anytime I want. Challenge me if you dare.
I’d love to connect with other members about…
I’d love to connect with other members about innovation, operational efficiency (my love language), and ensuring Atlantic Canadians have meaningful access to healthcare.

We’re in a constant state of change right now. Markets look at leaders to “move fast,” “pivot quickly,” “decide now.” My fellow Eagles, I love a quick turn around. But the truth is, there’s wisdom in the pause too.

Always strive to be the best version of yourself. Ask for help. When in doubt go back to your company values for guidance on difficult decisions.
I believe WMI can and should be at the centre of business leadership and entrepreneurial development in Atlantic Canada.ominate yourself or another alumnist here.
