Experience:* Site Acquisition Specialist at SitePath Consulting LTD (March 2016 - Present)As a consultant in a very niche part of the telecom industry, I am responsible for facilitating telecommunications infrastructure agreements for fibre upgrades to both commercial and residential buildings. Research and contract negotiation are my specialty, but I would say my greatest strength is building rapport with clients both in the long and short term. Identifying opportunities and prospecting are a large part of this. In addition, I have been working on projects in the wireless field, negotiating land use agreements between carriers and land owners, and seeing it through the public consultation phase. My favourite part of this process is the site visits to remote communities, where I photograph the details and put together the info packets that the carriers need to qualify the site. This has been a great opportunity to travel to remote communities and play an integral role in critical infrastructure improvements. As a valuable part of this role, I am also a Commissioner for Taking Affidavits in British Columbia.I am a daily user of CRM Software (Salesforce), Project Management Software OneVizion, and proficient in Excel, Word, Power Point. * Business Consultant at L'oreal Professional and Pureology Division (May 2013 - March 2016) As the business consultant for Vancouver Island, I was responsible for sales and growth opportunities for both the L'Oreal Professional and Pureology brand portfolios. I worked with owners and managers to teach them how to drive their own retail sales and inspire their staff with our cutting edge education programs. * Account Manager at Unilever Canada (April 2007 - April 2013) *As the account manager for Thrifty Foods, I was responsible for Unilever's vast Ice Cream, Foods, and Home and Personal Care portfolio. I worked with category managers to implement marketing plans, set up and drive promotional activity, present and manage new innovation, creat exciting bookings for our retail sales team to sell at store level, and grow market share all while managing a balanced trade spend. * Sales Representative at Schneider Foods/Maple Leaf Consumer Foods (Nov 2003 - May 2007) *As the territory manager for southern Vancouver Island, I was responsible for 40+ stores in the region. I maintained customer relations, took orders, implemented the bookings set up by the account managers, and dealt with damaged items. A large part of this role was merchandising, so trust me when I say I was an expert in displays made of meat.
