I am very excited to join the team here at the Owen Sound & District Chamber of Commerce. After completing my coop position with the Chamber, I knew it was where I could achieve the goals I set in the next steps of my career. Working in an environment that works tirelessly to support local businesses and community groups is something I am very passionate about. As a 5th generation in the Owen Sound area, I have seen the importance of big and small businesses, and the grit of entrepreneurs, and their staff who work tirelessly to achieve goals and support the community this is what makes Owen Sound such a great place to grow up! I am excited to support our local businesses through my work with the Owen Sound& District Chamber of Commerce. Outside of work, I keep busy singing and playing guitar as well as skiing, baking, and camping.
