Check out what Nicole Servinis, Live Eye Reporter for Citytv's Breakfast Television Toronto, had to say on receiving the UMD #Macedonian Diaspora 40 Under 40 Award. #UMD40Under40

Born and raised in Richmond Hill, Nicole Servinis, with roots from Sveta Petka, #Macedonia, grew up as a lover of arts and entertainment, including figure skating and dance, and has won national dance championship titles across North America. Servinis’s love for TV started in high school after completing a co-op program at Rogers TV in 2007, and she hasn’t looked back since. Servinis received a full dance scholarship to Hawaii Pacific University where she studied journalism (and received the Rookie of the Year Award!). Servinis came home to finish her studies at Ryerson University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Journalism, and had the opportunity to intern at Citytv and Entertainment Tonight Canada.

She is the Community Correspondent for Breakfast Television. Before joining Breakfast Television, Servinis was an Entertainment Producer where she interviewed many A-list celebrities, including Meghan Markle, Natalie Portman, and Melissa McCarthy.

Heritage

My Macedonian heritage has impacted my life and profession in more ways than I can count. From my great grandfather, Louis Servinis, coming to Canada as an immigrant with next to nothing; to my grandfather, Thomas Servinis, working several jobs and long hours to support his family, and my own dad, Nick Servinis, who represented the Canadian Macedonian Hockey Team in Europe. My heritage has taught me to always be involved in my community and work hard to achieve whatever my mind and heart is set on.

I am so proud to be Macedonian because of our strong history as a nation and everything we have done and continue to do to preserve it. As a proud Macedonian, I plan to continue to educate people and future children about where we came from. A Macedonian cultural highlight for me is our ability to maintain a strong bond with our community, alongside our traditions that I hold near and dear to my heart.

If I had to choose one piece of advice to pass on to the next generation of Macedonians is to always remember where you came from and to be proud of it, never forget to give back to your community, and always help others.

Nicole, what defines your Macedonian heritage - is it a cultural heritage, a nationalistic heritage, is it a geographical region that you feel you originate from, or something else perhaps...?
