Arya Tektar
Taheera completed a BA Honours Arts, Rhetoric, Media, and Professional Communication Major, Music Minor at the University of Waterloo with Dean’s List acknowledgement. More recently, she completed her MA in Literary Studies, also at the University of Waterloo. Taheera first came to the GI as on a part-time assistant role Spring 2017, returned in Fall 2018 as the Operations Assistant, and is currently filling various shoes at the GI as an Arya Tektar. As well as working at the GI, Taheera has launched her own music studio, known as Mamujee Studios.
Taheera's academic passions include: British literature, with a lean toward J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis; music, anything from classical to the Beatles to Maori indigenous music; and history, from Roman times to present day. If asked, she can enter into a spirited discussion on any of these subjects for longer than desired. She also has many hobbies, from knitting to gardening, from cooking to small home renovations, some of which are on display on her lifestyle blog, A Slice of T.
