in June 2018, I became the chosen Canadian contender to enter the annual World Porridge Making Championships, Golden Spurtle Competition in Scotland. I used Ontario grown organic Oak Manor Steel Cut Oats in my recipes. My working career has been spent in various areas of business including Consumer products, cosmetics and the Health and Wellness industries in both Canada and the U.S. I've held positions such as National Training Manager, Payot Cosmetics, Canada; Account Manager, Colonia Inc., NYC, U.S.A.; Manager Haircare Division, Pantene, Canada; Ontario Regional Manager, Lise Watier Cosmetics; National Merchandising Manager and National Accounts Manager, Colgate Palmolive, Canada; Wellness Consultant, freelancer to major banks, Toronto. At present I am Founder of The Porridge Mom Inc., a newly formed porridge accessories company with the first product being an ergonomically designed, non-toxic spurtle that is available via e-commerce and retail.
