First an academic librarian at McGill, then an expert re-inventing herself, Nola Brunelle confides, “I have been a high school teacher (Toronto), a sales trainer (Simpson's), a suburban housewife, a single mom, a corporate librarian, an administrative assistant, a nanny. And now I have become a Grandnola,” she adds proudly. Resilient, resourceful, reliable, Nola chooses to continue learning out of curiosity, and a sense of wonder for what's out there. She is passionate about travelling because it gives her the chance to meet different people, discover and appreciate other cultures, and experience new landscapes.
