Mark Inglis

Born and raised in Cape Breton, Mark always wanted to be a teacher. After pursuing an education degree and teaching for eight years in the Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board, he decided he wanted to make a career change. Although he loved teaching, he was compelled to do something else. In 2015, he pursued an Advanced Diploma in Public Relations at NSCC and upon graduation, started working for Saint Mary’s University. Although he loved Halifax, he wanted to come back to Cape Breton. Mark moved home in January 2017 and his dream job opened up at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation. The rest is history.
