  Founder

  **Contract Work**After graduating from the Business Management Program at BCIT, I decided that I wanted to do contract work in the areas of business I was most passionate about. Those areas were the combination of IT and Marketing; both spaces of great creativity and outside of the box thinking. I have been able to supplement my income by focusing on small projects for business contacts I have made over the years. This keeps me interested and growing in other areas outside of my primary vocation. It also keeps me hands on, as I grow my career in leadership and management.• Develop IT Strategy for businesses in a variety of fields• Troubleshoot IT issues, including PC/laptops, printers, hardware, and software• Created marketing materials including business cards, brochures, HTML eBrochures, pamphlets, letterhead, referral forms, folders, envelopes, invitations, and thank you cards• Designed, developed, tested, and implemented the Enterprise Paper Co.
