Alex Hoa, Assistant Manager, Cafe LinX and Retail Service, is the first member of the Humber and Guelph-Humber community to be featured in the Sustainability Spotlight Series.

After completing the post-graduate, Event Management program at Humber three years ago, Alex assisted with Etobicoke Lakeshore Culture Days, an annual event at the Lakeshore Campus, and later took on the role of Assistant Manager, Cafe LinX and Retail Services.

Alex shared with us that she is on a continuous journey to make changes in her lifestyle to incorporate sustainability. When asked to share her secret, Alex says, “the first step is to find what you’re interested in and how you can incorporate sustainability in a positive and meaningful way. Think deeply about what you’re passionate about and be willing to change or adapt.”
