My Journey
Like many industry professionals, I accidentally landed in the franchise industry (and never left). My career in franchising began at 1-800-GOT-JUNK? in Vancouver, where I helped thousands of people explore franchise ownership and more than 70 take the step into entrepreneurship. That experience showed me how much there is to consider beyond simply liking a brand.
Today, as a franchise consultant and multi-unit wellness franchise operator, I bring unique perspectives to the conversation. I help people work out what they want from business ownership, understand their options, make an informed decision about their next chapter.
