Hi, I’m Dimi, and I’m excited to be part of the Rockland Park Homeowners Association as a Brand Ambassador. As a member of the Rockland Park community, I take great pride in contributing to its growth and success. My extensive experience in customer service, including my time at Sobeys, has strengthened my communication skills and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I’ve also developed strong organizational skills through my background in sports, allowing me to balance working independently and effectively in a team environment.
Creativity, learning, and adaptability are passions of mine, and I believe these qualities will be a great asset to the RPHOA. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in business at the University of Calgary, and I look forward to incorporating my studies into my work by helping to create great customer experiences for our residents. I am eager to engage with the community, support meaningful initiatives, and serve as an ambassador for our growing neighbourhood. I look forward to meeting and working with you all to ensure Rockland Park continues to be a welcoming and thriving community!

From a young age, I have been passionate about fostering an inclusive, respectful, and welcoming community.

I look forward to creating memorable experiences, meeting residents, and fostering a safe

Hi, my name is Aarush and I will be joining the Rockland Park Homeowners Association! In the past I have had a variety of roles such as working summer camps at the YMCA, basketball coaching and refereeing as well as being on a school debate team. All of these experiences and more have shaped who I am today and greatly improved my ability to work independently as well as in team-settings.
