Lola is a very dynamic speaker and she has amassed a wonderful collection of compelling images. Here is a little bit of Lola’s background:

Airline Transport Pilot -Dive Master -Activist -Adventurer – Photographer – Mayanist

My varied careers reflect my curiosity about our world. As an airline pilot I accumulated nearly 6000 hours flight time. I studied psychology, genetics, & anthropology (BA Psychology, University of Waterloo). While living in Mexico, I worked as a SCUBA dive master, sold my watercolor paintings to travelers, and conducted weekly lecture/photo travelogues.

My photographs have received numerous Jurors’ Choice and Honors Awards. My published essays & photographs chronicle volunteer work in Guatemala & Kenya (teaching), Kenya & Honduras (medical missions), and Guatemala (seniors’ companion). The National Post, The Globe & Mail, The Toronto Star, The Rotarian Magazine, National Geographic, and The Smithsonian have published my images and articles. I am a Rotarian.
