And Now for a taste of things to come. Happy New Year.

Well it’s been several months since my last update, while it has been a little bit of tardiness; it’s been pleasant to announce I have been busy.  My career pathway has been changing, my TV show has finally aired, and I am ready to kick ass in 2014. Where to start?

How about with Go Fish? Over the summer I had an incredible opportunity to participate in the filming of a new Canadian comedy TV show, based in my fine city of Calgary. After countless hours of editing, it aired on December 16 on ShawTV (that’s channel 10 for those in Calgary). The hype was there and expectations were there, however you will have to watch it yourself to develop your own thoughts. For me I had to wait a week from airing to see because I was in Montreal, however I will get to that in a moment. In the meantime, here is one of my scenes for your enjoyment.

Trailing off from that I have the most exciting news since I started this blog, career wise for me at least. Whenever I have been back in Canada I have been working at the bar and trying to get into the pharmaceutical industry.  Well after numerous interviews, I received an exciting phone call at the end of October. Servier Canada became my new employer as of November 4^th.  Servier is a French based private pharma company with its Canadian head office in Laval, QC.  From the 4^th until just before Christmas I spent 4 weeks in Laval training. After the New Year I was and am ready to kick ass in the field. 

This career transition is one I have been talking about for a number of years, which is what makes it so fulfilling now. I had mentioned my struggles with communication with models, agents and clients, or sometimes the challenge or finding intellectual stimulation when at a fashion show. These aspects are a thing of the past. With a new and continually expanding science field, I have the opportunity to continually reach cerebral provocation.  Of course I do believe deeply in the necessity of these hypertensive and diabetic medications for patients that are uncontrolled through diet and exercise. Nutrition and exercise is rooted in my belief of first line treatment, however I recognize that not everyone will follow this and sometimes it’s not enough, this is where medicine comes in.

Overall the 2013 saw another adventure through SE Asia.  I was reacquainted with numerous friends as well as introduced to countless more. I feel forever thankful and privileged for the opportunities that were provided for me, and eternally excited for what 2014 has forthcoming.
