Fry Family Foundation Junior Leadership Award, 2004
Congratulations on your 25th Anniversary! I had the honor to receive the Horizons award in 2004, as a student at MacDonald Drive Junior High. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet a group of young leaders from across the province and an impactful way to emphasize the importance of well-rounded leadership.
Since 2004, I studied Mechanical Engineering at Memorial, and then earned a Master of Biomedical Engineering and an MBA from the University of Oxford. I am now an Associate Partner at McKinsey and Company where I focus my work on helping life sciences organizations achieve speed and agility to better serve the rapidly changing needs of patients and healthcare providers. I’ve been lucky to live across Canada, England and Japan before settling in my current home in Washington, DC with my husband, Christian.
Your family’s generosity has always inspired me and I hope someday I can help to encourage and support the next generation of young leaders in Newfoundland. Thank you for your inspiring leadership and dedication in supporting the amazing young leaders of our province!
