Born and raised in Prince George, British Columbia, Serena Sanghera is a shining example of leadership, service, and community spirit.

A proud graduate of the University of Northern British Columbia—where she finished at the top of her class—Serena is now pursuing her dream of becoming a physician. With applications to medical school underway, she is focused on a future devoted to healthcare, compassion, and improving the lives of others.

Serena’s deep roots in Prince George run through her family’s long-standing entrepreneurial history in the city. Growing up surrounded by examples of resilience, hard work, and generosity instilled in her a strong sense of purpose—values she now channels into her own work and volunteerism.

One of her greatest passions is advocating for individuals and families affected by Parkinson’s disease. Serena plays a pivotal role in the local Parkinson’s community, helping organize both the Prince George Parkinson SuperWalk and the Parkinson’s Support Group. For her, this work extends far beyond event planning—it’s about fostering connection, hope, and resilience. Through her leadership, she empowers others to access resources, strengthen self-management skills, and feel supported on their journey.

On Saturday, September 6th, at 11:30am, the Prince George Parkinson SuperWalk will once again gather the community at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park. Serena is proud to help lead this event, which unites families, friends, and neighbours in a meaningful walk that raises awareness, critical funds, and, above all, hope. Every step supports the Parkinson Society BC, advancing research, advocacy, and programs that change lives.

For Serena, the SuperWalk is not only about fundraising—it’s about belonging. It’s about showing the people of Prince George that they are not alone, that their stories matter, and that together, the community can make a difference.

Her work with the Parkinson’s community reflects the kind of physician she aspires to be: compassionate, driven, and deeply connected to the people she serves. Whether she’s supporting local families, inspiring participants at the SuperWalk, or preparing for the next chapter in medicine, Serena lives out the values of perseverance, generosity, and leadership.

In all she does, she continues to embody the very best of what it means to create positive change.

Tina Coleman is the unapologetic voice behind the upcoming book 50 Fabulous and F*ckable, a fierce and empowering guide that redefines what it means to be a woman at midlife.

Her mission is simple yet revolutionary: to help women approaching 50—and beyond—shed old narratives, embrace reinvention, and step boldly into the most vibrant, authentic chapter of their lives.

For more than 20 years, Tina built a successful career as a licensed massage therapist—until a devastating car accident forced her to completely reinvent herself. Rather than letting hardship define her, she chose courage, beginning with solo travel. That leap into the unknown became the catalyst for profound transformation, eventually inspiring her to move abroad and create a life rooted in freedom, adventure, and intentional living.

Today, Tina shares her journey through writing, speaking, and coaching, proving that it’s never too late to design the life you desire. She speaks candidly about the realities GenX women face—hormonal shifts, burnout, and the sting of invisibility in a culture obsessed with youth—while flipping the script into one of power, possibility, and unapologetic joy.

Her debut book, 50 Fabulous and F*ckable, is more than a guide—it’s a movement. It invites women everywhere to trade exhaustion for empowerment, fear for adventure, and scarcity for abundance. With raw honesty and refreshing humor, Tina reminds women that midlife isn’t the beginning of the end—it’s the beginning of becoming.
