My Sobeys Value: Always Place the Customer First
Family is extremely important and my career fits my life perfectly. I have been able to watch my family grow up and I am able to spend time with my grandchildren, but at the same time I was able to focus on my career when I needed to.
Why Sobeys?
Sobeys has given me the opportunity to lead a large team of essential service staff. I take a lot of pride in knowing that I have been able help such great people find their niche within the company.

My favourite food is shortbread cookies, and I will take them whipped or rolled!
