What do you remember most about your first day on the job?
The first day I was so nervous! I was a shy person and not used to speaking to people I didn't know.
What is the best part of working at Sobeys?
The people you meet and the stories you hear.
What is your proudest moment as a Sobeys employee?
My proudest moment is right now. It's being able to say that this is my first and only job, which I have been doing for 38 years.
What is your favourite memory from the past 25 years?
It will always be the first store I worked at store #445. We had the best times and I still share laughs with former employees.
What advice would you give to a new Sobeys employee?
It might be scary at first, but take a deep breath and don't be afraid to ask questions. We are a team and help each other every step of the way.
My Sobeys is...
...a place where close friends and good food ideas are born.
