Born and raised in Ontario, I moved with my mother to Alberta at a young age. At the age of 16, I started working as a flooring installer and fell in love with the craft instantly. During a family Christmas visit to the Kamloops area, I instantly felt a belonging to this incredible city and decided to move here. My 12 years of experience as a floor installer opened the door to a new career with ServiceMaster as an Emergency floord Technician. With ServiceMaster, I received additional training and received certification in Water damage Restoration and Applied structural Drying. After almost 5 years with ServiceMaster, my passion and my efforts have successfully paid off as I have been recently named the Emergency Flood manager. With ServiceMaster I plan to continue its long-standing commitment to provide the best Restoration Service in the Kamloops Area. Its easy to excel at your job when you love and appreciate what you do.
