Nicky is one of the newest, and yet longest, members of our reception team.  Nicky is currently in the process of attaining her degree in Public Relations and Global Communications at Ryerson but has decided to take a two-year hiatus, so we took full advantage and put her to work.  She officially joined our team in April 2018 but since she is Dr. Sarafov’s daughter, she’s actually been attending our office, helping here and there, since she was eight years old. You’ll know it’s Nicky’s welcoming voice when you call because her enthusiasm and energy are quickly apparent.  When not at work, Nicky loves spending time with her long-time boyfriend Michael and her two cats, Sophie and Winston
