People first. Purpose in every step.

I’ve hired, onboarded, and coached retail teams. Now I’m bringing that practical experience into human resources, with a place in Sheridan’s HR Management program starting January 2027.

01.About

My path into human resources began on the shop floor. As a store manager at Spiritleaf, I recruited new team members, helped them settle into their roles, and coached them through the day-to-day demands of retail.

With a BA in Psychology from the University of Guelph, I’m interested in how people learn, communicate, and work together. Managing schedules, payroll, and performance gave me practical experience supporting a team while keeping operations running.

I currently build retail partnerships at Laniakea Brands. In January 2027, I’ll begin Sheridan’s Human Resources Management graduate certificate and take the next step toward a career in HR.
