Welcome back to our Member Mondays series! TVH is on a mission to learn more about our community members. We believe that community is what strengthens a workplace! Each week, we feature a new member on our blog page, hopefully learning more about what makes them tick!
This week, our Member Monday features Shenette Skenderis, a member at TVH Duncan Mill!
___________________________________________________________________
What business are you involved in?
I am involved with a medical private career college in North York, Canada! The name of the college is Toronto Health School.
What’s your “why” – why are you passionate about that?
Having the opportunity to help others excel in the medical education industry is very satisfying. The purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows of opportunity. Also, that applied knowledge is POWER! If you can put in the time to expand your knowledge, and share that with others… why not?!?!
What are the favourite places that you have travelled to? Why is it your favourite?
Where do I begin?! I have travelled all around the world! I really don’t have a favourite place because there are so many places that I LOVE. I think my “Go to” countries would be anywhere that has crystal clear water, beautiful beaches, hot weather and a less than 6-hour flight from Toronto! A destination that can calm my nerves. My top 3 would be: Turks and Caicos (Long Bay Beach), Aruba (Noord) and Barbados (Maxwell Beach, Oistins).
What’s your favourite dish?
My favourite dish, or shall I say dishes, would be any vegetables and meats that are grilled! usually done by the French! I also LOVE macaroons!
How would you convince someone to do something they didn’t want to do?
I would tell them the benefits of it and give myself as an example of how I did it. Of course, I would not push someone if they were very reluctant. I would never let anyone feel uncomfortable.
Do you speak any other languages?
Fluent in English, however, a little of the Filippino language and learning Spanish and French on my spare time!
How do you let off steam/stress?
How do I let off stress?? Just like every other female… retail therapy:) Otherwise, I talk to my dog and hang out with her!
What’s your favourite restaurant/thing to do in the area?
My favourite restaurants in the area would be the Duncan House (they have grilled seafood and steak which I usually order), California sandwich (they have a killer eggplant parmesan sandwich) and The Thai Room Grand (Has a vegetarian plate called “Coconut Cashew Vegetables” that tastes great paired with Jasmine rice and a touch of basil).
My favourite thing to do in the area is going to the Galleria Supermarket and buying the different types of exotic fruits and vegetables.
What do you do when you’re not here working?
When I am not working, I love to see the latest Broadway shows offered by Mirvish. Sometimes, if I really enjoyed it, I will see it 2 or 3 times! My favourites would be “Anything Goes” and “Kinky Boots”.
Another thing I do on my spare time, is usually going to French bakeries/restaurants like, Laduree, Duo Patisserie, Delysees Luxury Desserts, and Cafe Boulud.
What is your favourite thing about TVH Duncan Mill?
To be honest I have many favourite things I LOVE about TVH Duncan Mill. The cleanliness, the people, the up to date furniture, the 24-hr access, the modernized washroom which does have a full length mirror, sensor toilets and sinks! The security of the doors, having clients identify themselves before entering, the plenty of free parking, easy access to the TTC and very close to restaurants and Longos supermarket! The list goes on!
Anything else you want to share?
The Village Hive Duncan Mill is an AWESOME place to have a business! It is close to a lot of other businesses and has other locations in the GTA! I have yet to see the Eglinton location too!
