a little life update q1 26'.

what’s been happening

what a start to 2026. new city, new job, new chapter and honestly it’s been everything i hoped it would be and more. here’s a quick overview of what’s been happening so far:

toronto winter Welcome to Toronto

travels

  • took my first ever trip to vancouver in my first week at the new job for a company hackathon. safe to say i was thrown straight into the deep end and i loved every second of it.
  • got to train some jiu-jitsu and eat really good sushi.

  • season 2 is officially in the works. we have an event dropping on march 13th stay tuned, it’s going to be a good one.

career

  • the big move: i’m now in toronto full-time working at nationgraph.
  • we just closed our series a, $18m usd led by menlo ventures. it’s been wild to be part of this journey from the jump and i couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead.
  • genuinely, hand on heart, this has been the most fun i’ve ever had working. the team is absolutely insane and i pinch myself every day that i get to work alongside these people.
  • so grateful for this opportunity and excited to keep learning, especially diving deep into product marketing.

everything else

  • officially joined toronto bjj and getting back on the mats has been amazing. missed it more than i thought.
  • continuing to lift consistently and recently started back on zone 2 cardio to rebuild my aerobic base properly.
  • big goal for the year: running the montreal full marathon in the fall. it’s been on the bucket list for a while and this is the year.

what’s next

  • keep building. keep growing. there’s a lot i want to do this year on the personal brand side, more reflections, more writing, more sharing what i’m learning.
  • if you’re in toronto, let’s grab a coffee, always down to meet new people.

still work to be done.
