Please consider me in your search for someone to support your Marketing and Sales operations.

While operating my direct-mail advertising franchise, Val-Pak, in Nanaimo, BC, I provided customers with quotes and estimates for an all-inclusive service that included promotion design, leaflet printing, distribution, and redemption analysis. This business depended directly on making cold calls to small and medium size business owners. As owner, I negotiated all sales contracts.

While the Marketing Manager for T-MAR Industries in Campbell River, I promoted the company’s existing inventory of logging products from log loaders to road builders to grapples and helped promote new products additions. My duties also included conducting customer surveys; producing advertising copy, brochures and videos; purchasing company swag and launchhing the company newsletter, The T-MAR Times.

Returning to Canada in 2012, (after 10 years of teaching internationally), I worked with a web designer to launch my WordPress website highlighting my creative abilities in writing, photography, art, music and video production.  I use my blog to promote my art and my philosophy that life is an essentially positive experience. I have a working knowledge of MS Office, Illustrator, Photoshop and Movie Studio and extensive commercial writing experience.

I am an intermittent cannabis user and have found its use inspirational. Consider this painting inspired while smoking the product with a friend.

I believe my experience in marketing and advertising makes me an ideal candidate for this position. Accordingly, let me suggest we meet to discuss the contribution I could make to the ANC Cannabis in filling this important role.
