Most recently I was providing services as a Marketing Operations Manager for a tax software company (SaaS) and HR Operations Manager for a mental health clinic network. My most recent position prior to that was as Business Manager to a private mental health clinic in Canada for a year contract. Previous to that I was Operations Manager at Frontier Mining (released due to covid), Operations Manager at Amperslash Ltd. (1 year contract) and I was the VP of Operations for Interactive Health Technologies, Business Manager for The Coaching Connector, and Operations Manager for Cambridge Cloud Partners. As the VP of Operations I was the 'mouthpiece' of the head of the company and responsible for managing all day to day operations including writers, coders, SEO, project managers, and some administrative tasks. Before that, I was assistant to the VP Director of Operations at Thompson & Co. before I took a hiatus from working to be with my children. I have also worked extensively with research, customer service, marketing, sales, and nutrition. I am also a ND or Naturopathic Doctor and Master Herbalist. I also attended culinary school and have worked in the food/restaurant industry. While I love and enjoy that, I have found that my first love is the nuances and complexities of Operations so that is why I have stuck with my original career path.
