Over the years, Pascale has volunteered at her daughter’s schools, at her horseback riding club, and with her baseball team. She was part of a small group of parents that built the first fully accessible baseball field in Atlantic Canada, located in Moncton.
Professionally, she has been part of the DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) steering committee for Accor’s North and Central America offices and chairs the DEI committee in their Moncton office. Last summer, she volunteered at the Summer Olympics in Paris, representing Accor.
She also loves to read, enjoys traveling, and discovering food and culture. Welcome Pascale!
