Tell us about yourself
I have a broad range and depth of experience right from entry-level to Executive Director level in every aspect of Human Resource Management. I do this with a compassionate lens and a foundation in mental health psychology, valuable in an environment of colonization and historical trauma. I can connect with my clients wherever they are, on personal and professional levels.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
The accomplishment I am most proud of is staying true to my values and ethics as a human resource professional and as a compassionate human being.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Managing paperwork and taxes - yuk!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Make sure your business is something you love. That will get you over the tough times.
- Get help or assistance in the areas you are not strong in. The payoff will be significant.
- Always think about service. How can I better serve my client? Be creative.
