1. What inspired you to join the automotive industry, and why Porsche in particular?
Growing up, I was immersed in a household where cars were more than just a mode of transportation—they were a passion. My father, an avid car enthusiast, shared his love for automobiles with my brother and me, sparking a lifelong fascination.
Joining the automotive industry felt like a natural choice for me, a way to turn that passion into a career. Porsche, in particular, has always stood out as the pinnacle of luxury, performance, and heritage. It’s a brand that doesn’t just build cars but creates dreams, and I’m proud to be part of such an iconic legacy.
2. Can you share a memorable moment or achievement in your career that you’re especially proud of?
A defining moment in my career was being promoted from Sales Executive to Sales Manager, making me the first female Sales Manager within our dealer group at the time. This achievement was incredibly meaningful to me, not just professionally but personally as well.
I’ll always cherish the warm and supportive emails I received from women across other locations who congratulated me. Their encouragement reinforced the importance of representation and inspired me to continue breaking barriers in the industry.
3. What’s your favorite Porsche model, and why does it resonate with you?
My favorite Porsche model is the 944 Turbo. It holds a special place in my heart because it was the first Porsche I experienced as a young girl.
I still vividly remember the luxurious black leather interior, the elegant contours of the car, the striking vibrant red exterior, and, of course, the exhilarating roar of the engine.
That car set a benchmark for me at a young age, embodying everything that makes Porsche special: design, performance, and an emotional connection that lasts a lifetime.

From bold, vibrant hues to understated classics, this program allows you to make your vehicle as unique as you are.
6. What’s your dream road trip destination, and which Porsche would you take for the journey?
My dream road trip would be driving through the picturesque south of France and Monaco, soaking in the stunning scenery, winding roads, and coastal charm.
For this unforgettable journey, I’d choose a 911 Carrera 4 GTS. Its perfect balance of power, precision, confident all-wheel drive and elegance make it the ideal companion for such an extraordinary adventure.
7. What’s a piece of advice you’d give someone considering their first Porsche purchase?
Take your time to explore the different models and immerse yourself in the personalization options available. Porsche offers endless possibilities to make your car truly yours, from bespoke paint colors and luxurious interiors to advanced technologies and wheels.
Work closely with your sales executive, ask questions, and enjoy the process—it’s as much about the journey as it is about the destination. And if you’re considering a high-performance GT model, don’t forget to inquire about the VIN-specific matching Porsche Design Chronograph for a truly unique addition to your ownership experience.
8. How do you stay motivated and continuously improve in your role as a Porsche Sales Manager?
I find motivation in the joy and excitement that our customers bring to their Porsche journey. Whether it’s a client purchasing their first Porsche or their tenth, being part of that experience is incredibly rewarding.
I also draw inspiration from our entire team at Porsche Centre North Toronto. Across Sales, Service, Parts, Marketing and Finance, we work together to create a welcoming and exceptional environment for our clients. This sense of collaboration and shared purpose pushes me to continuously improve and elevate our unique customer experience.
9. What’s your favorite memory of working with a Porsche customer, and why does it stand out?
One of my favorite memories was helping a client fulfill a long-held dream of owning a GT car. They found the perfect match in our Certified Pre-Owned inventory—everything from the color to the options was exactly what they had envisioned.
On the day of delivery, they brought out customized license plates they had ordered years ago in anticipation of this moment. Seeing their emotional reaction and the pride they felt was incredibly moving. Moments like these remind me that with Porsche, it truly starts with a dream.
