About us

Gili

I draw inspiration from the strength of nature and am passionate about igniting the inner light within us all. I am committed to creating a space for personal growth and development in every aspect of life. Professionally, I am a Ph.D. student in Chemical and Biological Engineering, dedicated to advancing research and innovation in my field. As a proud Israeli, I aspire to make meaningful contributions to our community.

Seraphina

I'm passionate about growth, kindness, and curiosity, always striving to learn and evolve in both my personal and professional life. With a career in Operations, I’m dedicated to creating an environment that supports productivity, fosters collaboration, and aligns with the culture and goals of my workplace. Outside of work, I channel my creativity through photography, capturing moments that tell stories and inspire others. My goal is to build communities—whether in the workplace or through my art—where people feel valued, seen, and empowered.

Colton

I care deeply about community and lifelong learning, which is why I’m excited to contribute to Flora. In today’s complex world, I believe it’s important to get back to the basics, connect with each other, and work to make a positive impact. I recently graduated from UBC Engineering, where I developed a strong foundation in problem-solving and teamwork. In my free time, I enjoy staying active, spending time with friends, and playing guitar. I’m looking forward to learning new things and connecting with everyone at Flora!
