About

I have to admit that although I have written many bios it is still very strange for me to 'professionally' talk about myself. This time I am simply going to write it as me for you. Here's hoping that it is edu-tainment for you (that's right I combined education with entertainment). 


I am committed to respect, integrity and confidence. My mission is to motivate and empower others to be themselves, live with integrity and to love life!
I am committed to seeing that people who have suffered from not knowing who they are instead experience clarity and confidence to stand up and be acknowledged.

For as long as I can remember I have been doing work in the realm of personal development. My amazing parents; Stephen and Nadia Buna, constantly challenged me to look at myself and how I was creating the world around me. 

I have been involved with leadership and training programs since I was 11 years old. I won the student council award in my graduating year, 2002, from John Rennie High School in Pointe-Claire, QC; walk down the main hallway- my name is on a plaque! 

That being said high school was a turning point for me. 
I learned, within the first few years, that the bigger I played my game or shone my light the less likely I would be to fit in or have friends. I began to dim. Eventually I could not handle it anymore. I was living so out of integrity for me and I hated it. I decided to step back into my power and friends be damned. 
Funny thing was that as soon as I made that commitment to myself my real friend showed up. The friends that I still talk to today! 

I graduated from Concordia University in 2007 with a BA Specialization in Communication Studies. I was going to work in PR and advertising. That is until I finished school. I then realized that I did not want an office job. 
I took a year off and went to work for Disney Cruise Line in the recreation department. 

During my vacations from the ship I attended a few courses with Peak Potentials Training; my first one being Life Directions in January of 2008. I fell in love with their programs and accelerated learning style of teaching. 

Since then I have attend over a dozen courses, volunteered at several more and worked as a member of their on-site logistics team since March of 2010 and as an assistant trainer since January of 2012. 

I am also a Heart Virtue expert and trainer. I began facilitating the "Unlock Your Heart Virtue" workshop with adults and teens in 2011 and I have taken on the role of teaching others to become Heart Virtue Experts.

Facilitating processes for people's growth is what I am passionate about and I am fortunate enough to have many companies that I work with who allow me to pursue that passion. One of them I have already mentioned, Peak Potentials Training, another is my family's company, EPIC-U; Empowering Passion, Integrity and Confidence and the third one is Coeur Values.

If you have actually made it all the way to this point and are seriously still reading I am impressed and thankful. I did not anticipate that it would take this long to write about who I am and what I do. Thanks for being curious!
