  • After living in the U.S., I retired from a 21-year career in transportation to relocate to Canada. I’ve been a contracted employee of Harvestaff for 6 years, serving under the title of “Expert Seed Technician.” In this role, I have worked alongside and cooperatively with agronomists, researchers, and scientists to produce seed shipments from South America to the Western provinces of Canada. On a more personal note, I thrive in a diverse and inclusive workspace where I am part of an amazing team of individuals, some of whom have become lifelong friends. As a woman, I appreciate that Harvestaff is owned and founded by women. I value the fact that my voice is heard in professional conversations and that my opinions and input matter. I am thankful for this working relationship and for Harvestaff.
