I’ve been a part of the Walnut Grove community since 2002 when I purchased The UPS Store. Ever since I was a child I’ve wanted to run my own business, and the timing was perfect after my first child was born. I love being my own boss and having the freedom to provide the quality of service that is so important to me. I love the sense of community that is unique to Langley, and especially Walnut Grove. I moved here 10 years ago and consider my home. Not only has owning my store allowed me to successfully integrate into this great community, it has allowed me many opportunities to give back as well. I’ve proudly displayed my logo as a Print Sponsor for numerous local sporting events, including many hockey tournaments and numerous baseball teams. I was thrilled to be the print sponsor for the pre-Olympic Women’s Hockey team game that was played here in Langley prior to the 2010 Olympics. Each season brings new opportunities to get involved with worthwhile causes and events. I can’t wait to see what’s next. I’ve also been honoured to be nominated for the Langley Chamber of Commerce “Customer Service Award” in 2010. This community has supported me as I build my business and I am happy to give back. Being an UPS Store owner has given me the opportunity to exercise my passion for serving customers at a high level of excellence; and it has also allowed me to provide my extensive knowledge of the print industry to my customers. I’ve always had a flare for creating, and had the pleasure of producing quality print materials for the past 18 years including 2 years overseeing the publishing of the highly acclaimed Beautiful British Columbia magazine. I have the privilege of working with clients as varied as Molson Breweries, Telus, Armstrong Cheese and numerous small businesses including sports associations, entrepreneurs, sales representatives and many non-profits. I know that my unique combination of my experience in all aspects of the printing industry and my 12 years as your “one stop business centre” give my customers an exceptional experience when working with me. My children and I enjoy living in this family friendly community and owning my own business allows me to demonstrate to them the values of hard work, the rewards of entrepreneurship and the importance of giving back to your community. I’m looking forward to growing my business, meeting more community members and contributing to the successful future of Walnut Grove.
