Years in the industry: 2 years
Job responsibilities: As Regional Sales Manager —GTA and SW Ontario, I work with distribution partners, BSCs, and property management firms in determining the most cost-effective and efficient products and programs for their business.
Career path: I started in the marketing field, and after being in the field with other sales reps, I decided that in order to be a better marketer I should have some experience in sales—and I've never looked back! I went from Grocery Products, to Natural Health Products, to Office Supplies, where I learned all the different lines of business, including Facility supplies
Best advice received: “The only thing constant in life is change.” My advice is to embrace it rather than fear it. Change can be uncomfortable, but it is also where growth, new opportunities, and personal development begin. Stay curious, be willing to learn, and trust yourself to adapt. You may not always control what changes, but you can choose how you respond to whatever comes next.
Fun fact: Something people might be surprised to learn about me is that I am actually quite shy and more of an introvert. While my role has pushed me to step outside my comfort zone, build relationships, speak up, and connect with people, those things don’t always come naturally to me. I’ve learned to embrace the discomfort, challenge myself, and recognize that growth often happens just outside of our comfort zone.
