She grew up surrounded by academia and sports. Born in Vancouver. Her father had a PhD in physical education and was at York University from start 1964 / 1965. Deborah liked sports, played most everything. She met some famous athletes such as Nadia Comanic. She grew up in Jane and Finch area of Toronto, they sold home in time. She didn't like high school, but university was what she loved. She majored in Philosophy and a goal was to get a Masters in Divinity. She enjoyed writing essays.
 
She got married and had 3 kids. On graduation she got a job with a jewellery store, eventually management. There she met some mentors, Michael Cortesis. She learned to control her temper and to listen. She is very creative and it is important to her.
 
She is both an introvert and an extrovert. She recommends making suggestions to her and letting her warm up to ideas.
