Myra Dionne

How has your education or experience prepared you for your career?

I have a Bachelor of Humanities from Carleton University and a Certificate of Journalism from Langara College. As a BHums student, I quickly learned how to dig for information and communicate it effectively. As a journalist grad, I love picking up the phone to chase a good story and am always driven to create positive experiences for anyone I connect with.

What kind of clients do you like to work with?

I love working with people across all industries. It’s one of the best parts of this job. I have a lot of respect for people who are open to collaboration and understand the value of great creative work. I personally believe there’s a solution to every problem and it’s easy to get there when great minds work together!

What did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be (and still kinda do) a travel journalist. Travelling is one of my favourite activities and so is writing. And I’ve always dreamed of fusing these two passions together. I’ve lived in a 1980 Vanagon over two winters travelling up and down the west coast, and I moved to Costa Rica in my early twenties to surf and learn Spanish. Travelling has taught me a lot about myself and exposed me to many unique cultures. I’m grateful for the people I meet on the road and the stories they have to share.
