Describe the ROM in one word.
Cosmopolitan.
Tell us one of your favourite ROM memories.
The time a guest and I secretly ditched our ROM YPC scavenger hunt team and decided to just chill and catch up instead. We kept texting them that we were one step behind them. (We weren’t).
What do you love most about the ROM?
The grandeur of the space and the exhibitions. Walking around at the galas makes me feel like I’m in one of those spy movie soirées.
If you could have anything from the ROM’s collections, what would you choose?
That super big gem, The Light of The Desert.
