Rebecca Atkinson

Rebecca, a mentor with The Firecircle, hails from the rural Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia. With a Business Degree in Tourism Management focused on Food and Beverage, she transformed her seasonal business into a community beacon over seven years. By fostering strategic partnerships, Rebecca created a thriving, community-based enterprise that emphasizes collaboration and shared success.
Her commitment to sustainable tourism is rooted in the belief that local entrepreneurs can drive growth and happiness in rural areas. Inspired by the idea that “we’re not in competition with our neighbors,” she champions collective efforts to uplift the entire community.
When she’s not mentoring or managing her business, Rebecca enjoys paddleboarding, hiking with her dog, and savoring local culinary delights. Her journey embodies the spirit of community empowerment, proving that one passionate flame can illuminate an entire coastline and inspire others to join in the quest for sustainability and collaboration.
