  • The life of an entrepreneur.

    Shaliza Somani has over 15 years under her belt as an executive. Her expertise lies with working with innovative startups who are on the cusp of rapidly growing their company from the ground up. Throughout her 15+ years, she has become well equipped dealing with the many aspects of running a business - everything from digital marketing to e-commerce to managing large teams.

     

    In 2004, Shaliza took everything she learned as a professional and used it to start her own company, One Star Media, Inc. As its founder, Shaliza Somani is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the company, including her dedicated team. She places value on customer relationships, but also knows how important it is to get in front of the eyes of potential customers as well.

  • The pursuit of happiness.

    Shaliza Somani's life does not slow down after she leaves work every day. On top of being a dedicated executive, Shaliza is also a wife and mother. They are a very active family that seeks happiness and well-being in the form of outdoor adventures. In order to be physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy, one must understand the value that exercise and healthy life choices have on their overall quality of life.

     

    A goal that Shaliza Somani has made for herself is taking on one new athletic challenge each day, but she always returns to her favorite activities: hiking, tennis, weight-training, and running. In exercise, Shaliza finds her reset button that frees her of the stress that she accumulates every day.

     

    Shaliza is also an advocate for a healthy lifestyle beyond fitness - food plays just as much of a part in happiness than exercise does. The first step towards a healthier life is to stop cooking from a box but, instead, creating meals for yourself. She is always on the lookout for healthy recipes to try at home with her family!

    Shaliza Somani's emphasis on a healthy lifestyle inspired her to become a sommelier. She is passionate about combining her love of healthy food with her love of wine. Not many people understand the deep and nuanced science of how food and wine complement one another, so Shaliza has made it her goal to share her understanding of food and wine pairings with everyone.

     

    Shaliza enrolled in the Wine Fundamentals courses at the International Sommelier Guild. Here she learned an in-depth analysis of wine terminology, label information, appellation concepts, and food and wine pairing theories. Throughout her life, Shaliza Somani has met many individuals who have the same love for wine, yet don't have the educational background in order to make the most confident decisions when making a purchase. Her main advice? To explore a variety of options in order to find what you like. Because everyone has a different palate, you may not prefer the recommendations of others.

     

    Recently, Shaliza Somani introduced her wine expertise to School Toronto, a brunch spot she invested in with her husband.
