Duke University seniors in New York in the
Duke Leadership and the Arts program.
While in New York, she went on a blind
date with a Canadian man that led to her
second marriage and her move to Canada.
Outside the office, Fitzgerald pursues an
adventurous lifestyle that includes scuba
diving and mountain climbing. She is a
board member of Outward Bound Canada,
a non-profit that encourages individuals to
test their physical and emotional limits in
challenging outdoor adventure programs.
"I had my first experience with Outward
Bound when I was 15, and it changed my
life," she says. "I became a die-hard out
-
doors soul." After finishing her undergradu-
ate studies at Duke, Fitzgerald took a year
off, working with the Victorian Archaeo-
logical Society. She scuba dived off the coast
of Southern Australia, mapping shipwrecks.
Two years ago, she and her husband
climbed Mount Kilimanjaro as part of a fun-
draiser for Outward Bound's charitable pro-
grams. "Mountain climbing is always some-
thing I enjoy doing," she says. As Cineplex
continues to diversify its lines of business,
Fitzgerald can expect to scale new heights
both inside the office and beyond.
