What are you complimented most on in your work?

Definitely people. I love being part of a big team. Relationships mean more to me than anything. Over the years I have started to get to know our clients as well. Who knew visiting all day could be a job. I love meeting new people and contributing to their lives in a positive way.

I have also learned a lot about marketing. It’s easy, if you truly believe in what you do.

Who is your ideal client?

When Prim opened, my vision was to inspire and build people up. People need a place to go where they feel safe - a place where they can feel like they have a group of friends supporting them. That's our team.  If you are in need of a pick-me-up, come to Prim.  Our goal is to have you walking out feeling better than when you came in.

How long have you been working in your field?

I graduated from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness Management.  I worked at Farm Credit Canada for five years, and my job eventually brought me to Lethbridge.  When I first met my husband, he saw my passion for people and seeing beauty in their hearts, so he encouraged me to start my own business.  We started Prim in December of 2010, and I have been working here ever since.  I still have passion for agriculture and business in general.  My husband owns JK Trucking.  As my kids continue to become more independent, I would love to grow Prim.  I am also fascinated with transportation and would love to get more involved there as well. So in other words, I don’t think I have a “field.”

What are you most passionate about both professionally and personally?

Hands down, professionally and personally, I love to see people grow.  I believe in the human race.  We all have treasure inside of us and I love chatting with people about their triumphs and struggles in life (real talk).  If I have a chance to build you up and encourage you, I will. I believe in you even if I don't know you. 

Personally, my family is everything.  I grew up with three older sisters and they are still my best friends.  My husband, two step daughters and two little boys are my number one priority.  I love creating traditions and building a home where everyone wants to be together.  We need each other.

I also really love golf.

What are your goals?

I don’t really set goals. I am really passionate about doing the small stuff right (good habits). I’m convinced if I’m making the right decisions daily the world will show me it’s goodness. I’m learning to live in the present and enjoy the daily grind. Don’t get me wrong, I have ideas of the direction I would like to go, but I’m really thankful for where I am at. There is nothing better than driving in the Lethbridge sun with a well made coffee. It’s the little things that make me happy.

I would love to continue to grow Prim. Saying that, I want to have the flexibility to spend my summers in Montana living mountain life with my kids. I know I can do both.

Oh yeah, I would also love to travel the world golfing :)

If you could be anywhere other than here, where would you go?

I have done quite a bit of travelling, and my all time favourite place is Montana. I honestly feel like there is crack in the air.

If I had to pick a number two, it would be Munich, Germany. There is nothing better than being in a restaurant sharing a table with strangers. Every city should be like that.
