Lida paid her way through undergrad at the Trinity College of the University of Toronto by working as an actress in the ACTRA Union in Canada. After graduating with honors from UofT, she moved to Northern California to attend law school at Santa Clara University. She graduated, was admitted to the California Bar, and practiced Corporate Law for almost seven years. She worked at some of the most prestigious firms and companies, including Kim & Chang in Seoul, South Korea, and Softbank. She even served on the Board of Directors for various international entities. The intensity of serving on multiple Boards and being deeply entrenched in the corporate world led Lida to pause and regroup. She found herself wanting to be surrounded by nature and that’s where Spirit Plants was born. Lida was now undergoing another pivotal transition but this time it was in search of balance and, as she puts it, “plants helped her find it.”
