“Nadine: A Beacon of Inspiration”
As a youth, I lived in one of the most beautiful places in the world (Northeast Quebec, a small Fishing Island) and was very fortunate to have the Family and Love that I did.
I have grown to be a very strong woman based on the nutrition, respect, and values that my parents have not only shown me but still practice today.
I have been a successful businesswoman with past openings of boutiques in Toronto, and Aboriginal communities in Quebec.
The business skills that I attained from managing my own business furthered my career in directing business development. My dad’s business successes have been my mentor and have shown me life skills that you can’t get in any University. For this, he will leave a legacy that he has passed down not only to me but also to my son.
There have been periods in my life when I have grown personally as a woman not only through beauty but also through personal accomplishments, such as achieving some childhood dreams in professional modelling (Miss Canada Pageant & Miss World Modeling Competitions: 1988-89-90) and being actively involved in the Fashion Industry.
My achievement demonstrates that even women from a small fishing town can feel powerful inside and be successful.
