I had the immense pleasure of meeting Jennifer Brodeur, the founder of JB Skin Guru while giving a conference in Montreal a few years ago. We were both there to inspire a younger generation of women to take risks and go for their dreams. Her vision and determination inspired me greatly.

She is a trailbalizer and a visionary. All heart and soul.
