Tell us about your role:
Currently I manage both the Administrative side of CFMS as well as the Marketing. Marketing is where I get to use more of my creative side, and the Administrative side keeps me busy with the small but important details to keep a company like ours running. I am thankful for my assistant, because it can be challenging switching hats some days!
What is a typical work day like for you?
As mentioned above, a lot of switching hats is involved. I may spend so many hours working on the website, then get pulled into assisting putting a proposal together, and then do a bank reconciliation. While I have typical tasks, I am not sure any day is typical - it all depends on what crops up!
What challenges do you most enjoy in your role?
I enjoy the challenge in having a broad portfolio of responsibilities. Feeling organized and that I have been on top of things even without a typical work day is very rewarding to me. In my time in CFMS I have been involved in all roles, and obviously it has been challenging at times to learn new things - but I am so thankful for the opportunities I have had to learn new things and grow into my current position.
How do you unwind at the end of the day/what’s your guilty pleasure?
I am not sure 'unwind' is the best term for me, as I lead a very busy life! But I enjoy time with my boys and dogs, and my friends and family most of all, whatever the activity. I do enjoy adventure and trying new things though - which is a bit 'unwinding' for me, as that occupies my brain in a different way! And on the guilty side - definately travel, a good meal, and a good wine - preferrably all three of them together, with my boys, dogs, friends and/or family!
