Rebecca MacDonald

Real Estate Agent

Rebecca ‘end goal’ was to become a real estate agent. With the awareness that there were going to be barriers due to her young age, at the time, and the constant ups and downs of the housing market, Rebecca grew other skill sets (graduating as an American Sign Language Interpreter) while also keeping real estate as something to study and grow into.

When asked about her values in the work she does, for Rebecca it all comes down to honesty. She treats her clients like family members and says she remains transparent for them. She recognizes that she is able to observe and take note of her clients values, long and short term goals. She looks for her them to be excited and at peace with their decisions.

What it all comes down to for Rebecca:

She protects her clients interests like she would her own.

Women in Film and Television Atlantic's Women Making Waves conference is fast approaching.

Not only does the conference land on the weekend leading up to International Women's Day, but it's also the association's tenth anniversary.

Women Making Waves is special to me.

It's where I saw, felt and heard that writing for the film and television industry is possible. I have started describing my experience with WIFT-AT akin to an open door. I wasn't aware that it was there, but when I found it and attempted to step in, there was an instant acceptance and making room for the new. This conference also does this. It brings top-level professionals to the Maritimes and seeks to create unity, growth and conversation to the women who work here. For me, it succeeds every time.

In the lead up to this conference, everyone has been busy at work to prepare.

Especially the WIFT-AT executive board members. For myself, I have been advance interviewing a handful of the women flying in to give talks and workshops, seeking out silent auction donations, and committing to 'hosting/facilitating' different sessions.

During one of my recent interviews, it was pointed out to me how miraculous WIFT-AT is as an association. With only one paid staff, spanning and providing opportunities for four provinces, a yearly conference, a five-week crash course on the industry, and so much else, all for women in the film and television industry.

I have to admit,

I am proud to be serving on the board. To have a chance to find my place in the association, meet and interview the women who make our industry thrive and to learn as I go. It's an honour to be alongside these women who serve on the board, have created WIFT-AT to be what it is today and to continue to find my place in it.
