......But First COFFEE ~ Starbucks Coffee Canada
By this time, I had learned as much as I could from two amazing restaurants and ventured into the largest coffee chain in the world, Starbucks Coffee Canada. Having a passion for food, and all beverages (including lots of tea and coffee) I was able to lead flagship stores in Burnaby and Vancouver, winning Store Manager of the year twice! With over 16 years in restaurants I was able to help elevate the food business and bring my selling background to drive sales and team engagement. In 2016, I was promoted to a district manager position leading a portfolio of 12 stores in Vancouver, and achieved record customer service results and revenue.

Time for a change ~ Cactus Club Restaurants
In 2006 I made the transition to one of the fastest growing casual fine dining restaurants in Vancouver, Cactus Restaurants Ltd. I brought my extensive knowledge of an established brand to an expanding and innovative restaurant emerging throughout Vancouver, across Canada and into Toronto. I was able to be a part of creating, developing and implementing customer service standards, leadership development programs and new menu creation while developing my skill-set as a servant leader. Through these years I also became a Level 2 Sommelier. I was involved in restaurant openings and developing a state of the art cocktail and wine program, along with establishing service standards and food pairings.

Work Hard, Play Hard ~ Keg Restaurants Ltd.
1994 marked the first year I entered the workforce in an entry-level, dishwashing position with one of the largest restaurant chains in North America, Keg Restaurants Ltd. Working part-time while finishing school, I fell in love with the team members and the impact I could make. I quickly worked my way to the front of house through all positions including hosting, bussing, serving and bartending. Before I went into management, I then turned to learning all I could about the back of house. I started as a prep cook and worked through the entire kitchen, becoming the Kitchen Lead in 1999! In 2000 is when my leadership journey began, becoming a Service Manager at the flagship location on Granville Island in Vancouver, BC. Working my way through all management positions in over 6 locations, I was able to hone my leadership and coaching skills through the kitchen and front of house.
