**1.How long have you been with our company?**

"I started this exciting journey on March 1st – 2013 – That means 3 years and 1 month"

**2. What is your title and role at Canadian Energy?**

“My title is Operations Manager for the Ontario Branch / Eastern Canada Distribution Center. Although my role entails many duties, my key responsibilities are to ensure day-to-day operations run as effectively and efficiently as possible. From full cycle accounting at the branch level to establishing logistical requirements while minimizing cost and lead-time. As Operations Manager I work with multiple departments from purchasing to sales to accounting, all with one goal in mind – Fulfilling customer satisfaction!"

**3. What’s the best thing about coming to work every day? **

“My team! Sounds Cliché, but I honestly have to say the people. When you get to work with such a great team of people all day it doesn’t get much better than that – Having pretty amazing customers here in Ontario sure does make coming to work everyday a pleasure also."

**4. What’s the one piece of advice you’d give to someone who is just getting started with our Company?**

“Give it all ya got!  Reach out, ask questions…speak to as many team members as possible. All have something valuable to share, which in turn will help to make you a more productive and well rounded team member!"

**5. What’s the reason you’ve stayed with CE so long?**

“The culture! I believe in C.E and all that it stands for. I believe in the Senior Leadership and their vision. C.E is a company that encourages their employees to be themselves,empowering them to take ownership of their role and make it their own. It’s a company that plays hard but works hard – When you can sail through your work day surrounded by laughter and humour but still take your job just as serious….why would you possibly want to leave?!"

**6. What is your motto or personal mantra?**

"Plain and simple: ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING!”

**7. What is your favourite movie?**

"Wow! I have a lot but very few movies left me leaving the theatre the way I did when I saw “A beautiful mind” Followed by a very close “ Meet the Parents” lot’s of laughter in that one."

**8. Who is your favourite band or singer?**

"Can’t say I have a favourite really. There is just too much talent out there to pick just one. But without giving away my age I have to say I’m an 80’s girl!"

**9. If Hollywood made a movie about your life, who would you like to see star as you?**

"I would love to say Angelina Jolie lol…but realistically probably more like Maya Rudolph"

**10. If you could meet anyone in the world dead or alive who would it be and why?**

"I would have to say an ancestor – Perhaps a Great – Great – Great Grandparent, Aunt or Uncle. I bet they would have some pretty cool stories to tell."

**11. If you had to eat one meal, every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?**

"Definitely Steak and Lobster along with a really good red wine!"

**12. If it could help with your job, what super power would you like to have?**

"Not really a super power but I would love to have a magic wand, so I could wave it around to put out fires when they arise."

**13. Who do you nominate for our interview next month?**

"Daniel Valdes"

Thank you Karen. We appreciate your hard work and dedication at Canadian Energy!
