I graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelors of Arts majoring in Regional and Urban Design and a Bachelors of Commerce with a major in Marketing.

Professionally, since graduating from the University of Saskatchewan I have always held positions that required strong communication and presentation skills. 

I am a results oriented person looking for opportunities to share my knowledge and learn from others.  I enjoy a creative environment motivating a team or working independently. I am a confident public speaker who communicates and networks well and enjoys meeting new people.  I am comfortable presenting to a large audience or in smaller group settings.  I am always interested in building strong relationships, solving problems, accomplishing goals and finding the best way to help my clients. I pride myself on my strong work ethic and integrity. I have strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize multiple projects and have experience working on short term and long term projects.  My strong research and writing skills along with my marketing and advertising experience allow me to communicate ideas to a diverse audience.  I am proficient using Microsoft PC’s and Apple computers.  I am experienced in MS Word, Excel, Power Point, Acrobat, AutoCAD and the Apple versions.  I am able to interpret engineering plans and specifications.  I want to grow and expand my knowledge and experiences.  I look forward to opportunities to get out of the office and work in the field.

For the past eighteen months I worked for a fitness center, Clubfit in Edmonton, AB, as the General Manager of the Northwest and then the Downtown location.  While at Clubfit I managed sales staff, personal trainers and support staff.  I am proud of the positive and hardworking atmosphere I created in that building.  I participated in monthly meetings with upper management to discuss marketing, operations and employee training.  I also helped organize and took part in many charity runs and community events promoting our brand. 

From 2005 to 2007 I worked for HydroOptix, a scuba diving manufacturer in Los Angeles, California, as the Customer Service and Marketing manager.  Our marketing was worldwide through print and internet advertisements.  One of my responsibilities was to organize and execute trade show exhibits across the United States, including Hawaii.  We also had a grassroots marketing approach as I spoke to scuba professionals and recreational divers at meetings, trade shows, and on dive boats between dives. 

Personally, I have led a very active and involved lifestyle. In high school I played on many teams, and while attending the University of Saskatchewan I was a member of the track & field team and the football team.  In the summers I hike, camp, mountain bike, play golf and much more.  During the winters I play in a men’s volleyball league, downhill ski and volunteer with the Canadian Ski Patrol.
