I am looking forward to working and learning about all the exciting Digital Nova Scotia members. Our tech industry is constantly growing, and it excites me to see what technology companies are doing across Nova Scotia. So, you’ve finished one week with us – how was it? My first week was fantastic! Everybody at Digital Nova Scotia has been very welcoming and friendly. And I have already been able to dig into some of the exciting projects Digital Nova Scotia is working on! What’s something you’re really interested in that might surprise us? I am really into cycling. Last spring, I bought myself a hybrid bike to use on the roads and trails. I enjoy going cycling with my family and friends on various trails across Nova Scotia. I am also big in spin classes, which I typically do weekly either at my local studio or on my stationary bike. If you were given a plane ticket to anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be? Italy. I have always wanted to go to Italy for its history, shopping, and of course the food. I love Italian food, especially pasta.
