I’m so excited to finally introduce Elaine, who has officially joined us at Academy Optical in her new “post-retirement gig.” We used to work together, and when I heard she retired, I thought that was it—but lucky for us, Elaine came out of retirement for a couple of days a week to help us out, and we couldn’t be more grateful 🫶🏽!

Having “Mama Elaine” in the office brings such a calming presence. Her positivity, warmth, and steady energy make the space feel more like a family—and it truly does feel like a family now.

Thank you, Elaine, for bringing your beautiful spirit into our little corner of the world. We’re so lucky to have you 🙏🏽🤍

It was an absolute honor to fit former Senator of Manitoba, Janis Johnson, with these stunning black Prada frames. Right before the holidays, she took them home—a perfect blend of timeless style and sophistication.

Introducing Kim! ✨

After working together for many years in the past, I’m beyond excited to have her join us at Academy Optical as our new bookkeeper. It’s such a gift to work with someone I trust and admire, and I can’t wait for all the fun venting sessions and those familiar sounds she makes while working 😂! I’ve missed them so much ❤️!

Welcome aboard, Kim! Here’s to creating something amazing together. 👓

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Rina Gill and the SAHM team for reaching out and inviting me to be part of the official launch of the South Asian Health Magazine in Manitoba and for featuring me as the cover story.

This opportunity means so much to me, as it helps me educate and share topics with the community I am deeply passionate about.

I’m excited to share these pages with all of you, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading them. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this magazine and look forward to seeing the inspiring stories of leaders from various professions that it will showcase here in Manitoba.
