In addition to over 38 product awards, including three-time Grand Champion, Petra also led the creation of the Ontario Cheese Society and served as board chair for seven years.

Since then, Petra has gone on to found of Eve-Volution Inc, a B Corp which helps support innovators’ success across a wide range of fields, as well as LiisBeth, an online magazine exploring the intersection of feminism, business, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
