The legend continues.

Vivian Omar: Vivian is not just "the girl next door." She holds a RN from Red River College and a Bachelor of Nursing degree from the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada.

She a is living testament of the old English proverb that: "behind every successful man, there is a strong woman."

She's currently employed with a non-governmental health organization as the "Tribal Diabetes Coordinator" for four northern communities in Canada.
