Keynote Speakers

Dr. Jinglan Han (Alberta Reproductive Centre, Top 40 under 40)

Dr. Han is no stranger to the plights of being a woman. As we have connected with women across the ages, specifically in childbearing ages, we are well familiar with the pressures of the biological clock for those who wish to have both a career, education and biological children. We invite Dr. Han to speak about her experiences with other women who have struggled and empower young women with education and options on how to navigate this bridge between personal and professional priorities.

Brenda Brix (AMR Design, Brenda Brix Consulting, Brix & Co.)

Her story starts out as a molecular genetics researcher turned Interior Designer. Pivoting from science to creativity and entrepreneurship, she has gained a lot of wisdom about choosing life that serves her seasons. Diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago, she talks about reevaluating her priorities and coming back to her scientific roots by serving on the Cancer Research Institute of Northern Alberta as the Patient and Family Advisor.

Councillor Parmar has spent most of her career in leadership roles with her being a pharmacist by trade working at the Government of Alberta in Health Policy to becoming the Vice President at the Canadian Red Cross, she has always had a knack for being a change maker. Most recently impressively winning her campaign as City Councillor of Ward sipiwiyiniwak, she pays homage to her heritage, upbringing and family as guiding values in her life and identity.
