“My journey in the social enterprise sector started as a second-year business student, and am most passionate about using business as a tool to create positive social change and bring light to social inequities.
I am also a tiny house owner and dweller, located on a small farm - and I love every minute of it!”

Once moving to Canada Fia developed a keen interest in social enterprise.
“I never would have known anything about social enterprise if I hadn’t moved from the shelter in Athens Greece. It is such an inspiring sector for a dog to jump into. It has allowed me to meet all sorts of great people that shower me with pets, smiles and once in a while I get them to play soccer with me too.
I keep busy with my daily walks, meals twice a day, and truly it is my nap rotation between multiple locations that takes up most of the day.”
