Times of uncertainty encourage innovation.

Freshco.ca
Freshco is a boutique, trend-setting retail facilities firm composed of three divisions: maintenance, projects and reconstruction. It offers customized, coast-to-coast first point of contact service across Canada and the eastern United States.

What fuels you?

Good people, giving back.

What are you most proud of?

Maintaining my East coast personality while enduring the pain behind true resiliency....and of course, watching women in the trades rise, moving the dial from 4-40%.

What has COVID-19 taught you personally and professionally?

Personally:  How much I love a cold beer at a bar watching sports.

Professionally:  Hang on tight and rebuild like a tsunami can hit at any moment.
