LFA was honoured to welcome back several Alumnae last week for Careers Day 2022. Our senior school students were delighted to meet with, talk to, and learn from our talented and successful alumnae from a great variety of industries.
Students had the opportunity to attend a number of speaker sessions taking place at the school throughout the day. Our esteemed list of Alumnae speakers included:
Vickie Petronio-King ’94 – Talent Agent/Founding Partner at Play Management
Jennifer Lau ’98 – Lawyer, Legal Recruiter, and Career Coach
Melanie Sia ‘01 – Software Product Manager at Relic Entertainment

Ten of our alumnae were able to come back to the school to speak in-person to the students while three of our speakers joined us from Zoom. Careers Day serves as a great opportunity for our students to see tangible examples of success across a broad range of industries. As senior students navigate their post-secondary options, Careers Day provides important context and insight for the decisions that lay ahead of them.
We’re extremely thankful to all our alumnae speakers for donating their time and wisdom to our aspiring students. It is a testament to the strength of our alumnae community that Careers Day continues to be such a meaningful part of the LFA experience.
