About Irene

Irene encourages others to embrace life, find peaceful harmony at home and to take the steps necessary to reach the goals they want to achieve. She takes a hands-on approach, acts as an extra pair of adult hands so you can "just do it"; book some time and get stuff done. Irene realizes that not everyone can afford the luxury of having a fulltime assistant; she offers clients other options because she understands that having help makes a difference.

Irene has worked as an executive assistant for the president of a retail and commercial development company and as an executive assistant for an international entrepreneur, supporting him during his mayoral candidacy and his world travels. This involved wearing many hats in order to manage their affairs and required a unique and diversified skill set. Irene's ability to act quickly and professionally and to adjust priorities on the spot is one of her greatest assets.

Irene is an optimist at heart and looks for the silver lining in all she does. She is a successful career woman, and she and her two children have active lifestyles involving numerous sports, academics and volunteerism. She was a single mom for many years, and is now in a loving relationship with a wonderful man.

Irene has a zest for life and believes anything is possible. She strives for excellence, has a strong work ethic and the knack for finding creative solutions with simple execution. Her skill sets, focused dedication and determination translate into successful results. She finds her greatest joy when there is harmony in her home and when she is pushing herself to live life to its fullest capacity.

Irene encourages you to face your challenges and embrace them, whether it is to run a marathon or to connect and enjoy the simple pleasures in your day-to-day life, anything and everything is possible. To borrow a quote from her daughter's valedictory speech, "Do what you are afraid to do, take risks and live to your full capacity."

Whether she’s managing movie theaters, working with trades people as a controller for a multi-branch manufacturing company, overseeing operations and selling 15,000 seats to view the Calgary Stampede Parade, re-branding businesses or chairing national wrestling championships, her strong analytical and organizational skills allow her to streamline tasks, while providing leadership and guidance.

Irene's pride and joy are her two daughters, who have adopted her philosophy of optimism and living life to its fullest. Both daughters are currently attending the University of Calgary.

Irene knows first-hand how to face obstacles and overcome the challenges we face throughout life. She loves to shift people's perspectives to see their inner strengths and to affect peoples' lives in positives ways.
