Over my career I have held managerial roles at Bata International, Athlete’s World, Sunglass Hut, and Aldo. While in these positions, I had a track record for building and training teams of 20 managers and 130 staff, focusing on achieving revenue goals and high customer satisfaction levels. Not only did I train and build teams, I planned district and store budgets including salaries, and operating and revenue dollar budgets. I stayed up-to-date on business trends and developed recommendations for process improvements based on current practices. I reviewed and analyzed statistical reports and created action plans based on the data. In these positions I made decisions in time sensitive situations, addressed complex problems and took calculated risks.

I have also held positions as a Human Resources Associate, have experience as a Business Owner myself, and was the Small Business Instructor for Sask Polytechnique Institute (SIAST).

For the past seven years I have held positions of Marketing Director, and Marketing Strategist.

These years of experience in every facet of the industry allow me to bring you a well-rounded approach to consulting for your retail businesses. I understand what it takes to run a successful retail store, and can see clearly where you need support in your business. I’m here to help you see the gaps, make informed decisions for you and your staff, and allow you to run your business with more ease and clarity.

 
 

I am committed to your success, and will work with you to relay strategic advice, creative solutions, and action plans that are based on your business goals and targets.
