I made my triumphant return to Vancouver in December of 2006 after 4 years traveling and working as a stewardess on private yachts. I wanted to be closer to my family and friends, and to find an exciting new career in Marketing. I am currently employed as a Marketing Coordinator for a small, local company that sells commercial playground equipment, water parks and skate parks to School Districts and Municipalities in Western Canada. I am constantly looking for opportunities that challenge and excite me!
