When Teisha Gentles (BA '02) looks back on her journey from University of Windsor student to entrepreneur, one theme stands out: the courage to start over.
Over the last three decades, Gentles has reinvented herself more than once.
She left Toronto for Windsor in search of independence, moved to Florida after graduation, returned to Canada as a single mother to rebuild her career, spent 25 years in the insurance industry and eventually launched a business in a field where she had no formal training.
