Outside work, I have two teenagers and I garden and grow as much of my own food as possible. I also cook and I love baking bread, including sourdough. I find making bread is therapy and I stress bake or get into the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My son plays soccer for Inverurie, I\u2019m a soccer mom, and I\u2019m from Phoenix, Arizona. My dad is from Arizona and my mom is from Colorado. I grew up out in the desert on a farm, I was a little desert rat! The Aberdonian weather was a bit of a shock to me when I first came here. I married a British guy and worked for Hilton Hotels as Operations Manager, so it was easier to transfer here to Scotland and I never went back! I do try to go home once a year although I haven\u2019t been back since Covid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My job title is Operations Manager. The beliefsI have in terms of leaders and managers lines up with TGC. Our team is our most important asset \u2013 without them there\u2019s no business. I look after the team and roughly80\/90 sites within TGC West, it keeps me busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I train our team and make sure that best practice is being used, Health & Safety is in place, that they\u2019re presented well, and representing us properly. You must treat your staff the way you would want to be treated, with, at the very least, basic human decency. I always make clear what our expectations are and in return, I listen to them. A lot ask about how we can improve and have really good ideas. My team is very important to me. I have three supervisors; all women. I am a firm believer in women\u2019s empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Facilities and cleaning was a male dominated industry. I was trained in hospitality, that was the same. As women a lot of time we have to be better and do better to compete with the men. I don\u2019t feel like that at TGC. I\u2019ve completed an AdvancedDiploma in H&S and FM, I am always trying to improve myself. You want to be respected as senior management and you need to earn that and also lead by example. You team will perform better if you treat them better. Obviously not everyone responds to that, but I would say here, over 90% do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
