On May 16, 2013, I graduated with a Masters in Public Relations degree from Mount Saint Vincent University. I was honoured to receive the President's Prize, awarded to me here by Dr. Ramona Lumpkin. It is given to graduates whose "energy, generosity and commitment have enriched the University during their time as students, and who show promise that their commitment will continue as alumnae."
