Maryam has a Bachelor in Statistics and a Project Management Graduate Certificate from Algonquin College. She loves fiction, her new adventure is reading east coast, Canadian authors. When she is not working, she loves bicycling, making dinner and watching French New Wave or Ingmar Bergman movies. She enjoys challenges and turning them into opportunities: it is like playing a game. She made board games for her nephew who was a handful. She learned early on that a powerful storyteller can fascinate anyone. This project helped her enjoy her first experience of creating this game by telling a narrative about managing changes in a company.

He has contributed to this game where you can choose your own adventure on this subject.
