She is also a certified project manager PMP-PMI and holds a bachelor degree in Commerce.

She is one of the founding team members of the first incubator for immigrant women entrepreneurs in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Due to her long years of experience, she knows the challenges and obstacles that newcomers face.
Coaching immigrants
Immigrating to a new land has positive and negative experiences. These experiences are based on the unknown circumstances of the new destination
Some of these circumstances are employment and business norms, culture, social and work environment , housing and raising children, to name a few.
Other factors that affect immigrants are missing one’s homeland, family, the social connections, and life routine.
Going through these experiences is overwhelming and may distract thinking from focusing on the new goals we want to achieve in our new land. Guidance and support during this process and before arriving to the new land is crucial for accomplishing what we want and being ready even before landing in the new country. Living in a new land comes with new opportunities and challenges. Here, at CanadaLink we use our coaching techniques to help you manage the challenges and benefit from the opportunities which inturn will make you see the new YOU in you. The new land can be the perfect environment for personal growth and self-exploration.
Clarify Your Goals
We help our clients identify their overall goals and enable them to achieve them with our help.
We offer insight, direction, advice and solutions to our clients to make sure they achieve the identified S.M.A.R.T goals.
Identify Barriers
We help our clients identify internal and external barriers. It is essential to help them gain a sense of control and to work through (or around) these barriers to get to their desired targets.
Dealing with such barriers alone is not easy. Our role is to support our clients throughout this process.
Action Plan
We clarified the goals and identified the barriers. Now, it is time to create and agree on executing the action plan.
We understand how making decisions and taking actions is an overwhelming process.
For a new immigrant, this is even a much harder process because there are lots of unknowns. We will offer coaching, consulting, and facilitate information sessions to make it an easier process for our clients.
Starting a new project like immigrating to a new place is a big risk. And you regularly need to make decisions with insufficient information, which adds stress during this important stage of your new life-altering project.
“What if?” can be a project stopper because we are stuck in “the not knowing”. The lack of information stops us from moving forward. When we are stuck with “What if?” maybe the decision we need to make is no. At this moment, it calls us to reflect on what we are trying to avoid.
Achieving Your Goal
We agreed on action plan! Now what?
We follow up and make sure you are following the plan and discuss any obstacles as they may arise to make sure you are on the right track achieving your goals.
