ON A PERSONAL NOTE:

Passionate about life, Priscilla lives life to her fullest and cares deeply for her family, friends and colleagues. Outside of the office, she can be found digging in her garden, power-walking through Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth park, riding her cruiser bike around the city, or on a tennis court with her husband Brian and their tennis “crew”. And if you don’t find Priscilla there, she’ll be on a dance floor!
