Vape Shack - Yorkton, SK
April 2014 to December 31, 2022
As the business manager/co-owner of the Vape Shack in Yorkton, we built a flourishing business from the ground up. In this position I was responsible for all daily aspects of management. I not only worked in the shop, I ordered stock, took charge of shipping, receiving, merchandising, hiring, dismissals, staff management, payroll, books, money management and customer service – essentially, every aspect of keeping the business running profitably.
I communicated regularly with suppliers, researched new product and built a Facebook page that gained thousands of followers. I handled customer complaints/problems and was told regularly how greatly our knowledge and professionalism was appreciated.
Editor The News Review - Yorkton, SK
September 2000 to September 2015
At the News Review, I began as a writer. I had no previous experience in this industry except for the love of writing and the penning of several young children’s books which were published as E-Books. One sold in Australia!
From this position I advanced to Editor where I was responsible for overseeing all editorial content of a bi-weekly newspaper. Duties included writing, interviewing, hiring, dismissals, communication, searching out story leads, copy placement, headline writing, proof reading, time management, customer relations. During this time I interviewed then Prime Minister (Stephen Harper) and I also had several articles published in various magazines as well as sold a couple of photos to the National Enquirer.
I left this job on excellent terms with blessings to branch into our own business.
