1. How did you end up working at Four Seasons?
After a life-long career in public service, I decided to retire and focus on my passion for entrepreneurship and creative arts. Marketing has always been an interest of mine, dating back to my childhood, and I continued to pursue it throughout my career. One day, I saw a job posting for a Digital Marketing Manager position at Four Seasons, and I decided to apply – the opportunity aligned with my passion. I feel fortunate to have been given a chance to continue pursuing my interests, and I’m excited to bring my experience and skills to my new position.
2. What is your favorite thing about your job?
As a professional in the creative arts and design industry, I find joy in guiding and mentoring others. I consider myself fortunate to have an exceptional team of young designers and creative individuals who share my passion for the field. One of my favorite things about my job is the opportunity to pour into people, and to help them grow and develop their skills. Whether it’s providing feedback on a design project, or offering career advice, I strive to be a positive influence on my team. Working with such talented individuals is truly a privilege, and I feel fulfilled knowing that I can contribute to their success.
3. At a party, where can someone find you?
At any social gathering or party, you can usually find me serving up refreshments or playing the role of host. I thrive on creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere, and making sure that everyone is having a good time. As a natural extrovert, I tend to be at the center of attention, engaging with guests and making sure that they feel included in the festivities. Whether it’s mixing cocktails, passing hors d’oeuvres, or simply striking up a conversation, I enjoy bringing people together and creating a sense of community. It’s always satisfying to see the smiles on people’s faces and know that I contributed to a memorable and enjoyable event.
4. What is one of your pet peeves?
It’s something that may seem minor, but has always bothered me: mouth noises. I find it incredibly difficult to tolerate the sounds of people eating, chewing, or smacking their lips.
5. What is your favorite childhood memory?
There are so many. I can remember getting the very first Nintendo system for Christmas… Wow, I’m really showing my age. My mom is always quick to remind me that I made sure it came with the “shoot gun” (for duck hunter).
6. What are your hobbies?
I love to hunt and fish with my friends and kids. There’s something truly special about being out in the wilderness, surrounded by natural beauty and the quiet hum of the world around you. Hunting and fishing allow me to connect with the world in a unique and meaningful way, and to bond with others who share my love of the outdoors. These activities provide a sense of adventure and excitement that I find deeply fulfilling. I cherish the memories and experiences that come with these hobbies, and I look forward to many more in the years to come.
