Serena’s diverse working experience includes projects for both the public and private sector, delivering custom solutions in the web and collaboration space, as well as managing mission critical systems used by operations across the globe.
She’s most passionate about delivering solutions that are fit-for-purpose and create an immediate impact to the audiences they serve – whether that’s making enrolment easier for a student population or providing solutions that take away pain points for staff.

Personal Details and Community Involvement
Serena loves travelling to explore food, markets, art, archictecture, stand-up comedy, and festivals around the world and to practice her terrible French and Spanish. She’s also a foodie who enjoys trying out new restaurants and food, so a recent travel highlight was food tour of Turkey where she got to cook with local chefs, try dishes that are hard to find in Canada, and sample her way through the gorgeous fruit, nuts, and cheeses at a local food market.
