About
I love finding ways to make things better. As an energetic, logical problem-solver, one of my greatest gifts is showing others how to do the same. By discovering the strengths of different systems and optimizing them for success, I ambitiously harmonize efficiencies and positively resolves conflicts, viewing change as an opportunity to grow and make things better.
My industrious enthusiasm is based on honesty, integrity and accountability to myself and others. Discipline-oriented, I execute goals with intense drive while staying true to my approachable, fun nature. My eight year financial services background with RBC is balanced with my previous entrepreneurial experience owning a spray foam insulation and coating company.
In my current role as a Human Resources and Health and Safety Professional with J Vans Oilfield Services, I take care of the team by managing daily operations both in the office and from the field. In working with key partners like ARC Resources, ACSA, ISNetworld, Sitedocs, Openinvoice and Fieldcap, I build long-standing relationships while utilizing and optimizing various computer systems for maximum safety and efficiency.
I am also the founder and CEO of weerent.ca. My dream was to create a secure space where I and others could safely rent their things to people, make extra money and give new life to things they might have normally thrown away. I am now transitioning it to a personal side hustle to make passive income on my own stuff hopefully to inspire others to do the same.
