 \nSpeakers:\n\nMelanie Walkty\, M.Ed. \n	I have a Masters in Second Languag
 e Education from ɬ�﷬ and a BA in French & English Literature from Saint
 -Boniface University. I have over 10 years of experience teaching English 
 as a second language to adults in post-secondary institutions and have bee
 n working at CaPS/Faculty of Education since 2016 (maternity leave replace
 ment). In addition to my career as a teacher\, I am a self-declared life-l
 ong learner! In 2014\, I decided to embrace a new challenge by starting a 
 small business on a part-time basis. I am the co-owner of Lemo Lemonade\, 
 a small batch\, artisanal lemonade syrup sold to restaurants\, bars and ca
 fes in Quebec. Managing Lemo has given me a greater business sense and has
  demanded resourcefulness in fulfilling the many functions required to gro
 w a business\, such as developing a business plan\, supervising production
 \, marketing\, finances and maintaining good client relations. I really en
 joys wearing multiple hats and feel gratified by the personal and professi
 onal growth I have experienced since starting the business.\n\n \n\nShawn

  business at ɬ�﷬ in the MD & MBA program. Prior to starting 
 graduate school\, Shawn completed a bachelor of Mechanical Engineering at

 edical software company\, Jintronix Inc. At Jintronix\, he raised $2.5 mil
 lion in venture capital and angel financing and obtained FDA and Health Ca
 nada approval to sell software for stroke rehabilitation. Shawn has also h
 eld positions in the operations department at Blackberry and at a private
