Looks like I dodged a bullet here. Reached out to this person vi DM on twitter to try to connect. Saw her post that she is fully booked for her Ottawa trip so I apologized and wished her well. She hadn't responded to my DM so I thought my message would jot receive a response. Boy was I wrong. I got a very curt response and then was blocked. Glad I saved my money on this one! Sometimes the best choices happen by chance!
