I throw parties at Mozilla

A month ago today I started a new job with the Mozilla Foundation (yay!). I'm through the roof about this and I wanted to share with you why. For awhile I've watched Mozilla from afar while admiring their commitment to creating an open web and educating the next generation of webmakers. My only experience with … Continue reading I throw parties at Mozilla →

The Art of Failing

Have you ever worked so hard for something and wanted it so bad only to find out you didn’t get it? Dear blog, I hope you’re ready to get down to some real talk today because I’m about to bring it. Here’s the story: I really wanted this position for an international job. I put … Continue reading The Art of Failing →

Girls Learning Code

It's March break! Other than less traffic on the roads, this week has yet to have any meaning since I completed high school. Until now that is. This week I've offered to lend some of my time to act as a mentor at the Girls Learning Code March Break Camp (founded from the awesome people … Continue reading Girls Learning Code →

Technology Firsts

I wrote an email today about a memory I had of my brother and a technology first. It went a little something like this, Dearest Dil. I have a story I want to share with you. I remember the time when I came home after my first (and only) camp experience. It was the next day … Continue reading Technology Firsts →

Self-doubt, we all have it

At 4am this morning I jolted up in my bed to discover myself having had a bad dream that resulted in rushed breathing and my body covered in a thin layer of sweat. I'm not usually one to have bad dreams so naturally my nerves were a bit shook. If you ask me now I … Continue reading Self-doubt, we all have it →

New York in Review

I went to New York with one mission which was to learn as much as I could. I set out for the city a little shaky and with a few reservations but knowing that it was time to start something new. What I didn't expect was what would happen along the way. The past four … Continue reading New York in Review →

Road Trippin’ through the USA

The past few months have been nothing short of spectacular for me but I'm saving all my New York adventures for a blog post coming soon. Instead, I thought I'd share one of the great adventures I recently had that happened outside New York. I love hitting the road and exploring different places around big cities. Sometimes … Continue reading Road Trippin’ through the USA →

A very happy birthday

Ever since I was born there was only one person I wanted to be like. So much so that I would hideout and cut my hair shorter in the bathroom, much to my mother's protest, just so I could look as cool as him. I spent a lot of time as a young child following … Continue reading A very happy birthday →

Next Stop: New York

All aboard! After months of planning, organizing, and conquering road blocks along the way, I'm happy to announce that I'll be headed to New York. Going back to school has been on my mind for awhile now. When completing my undergraduate degree in business I had the option to concentrate in my last year and … Continue reading Next Stop: New York →

My City Loves

September 7th marked my last day at My City Lives, the location-based startup that was founded in Toronto almost three years ago. My story with My City Lives began a little over two years ago. While in my last year of university, I managed to bridge the gap between doing something interesting and getting to know more … Continue reading My City Loves →
