At H+K, there are no mundane routines. Over time, I’ve established a strong rapport with my team, built trust with clients, and developed friendships with news editors. I’ve also had the rare opportunity to expand my network through a cultural exchange program, visiting colleagues in Beijing for a 2-week immersive experience. I’m thankful and humbled by my supportive team and nurturing superiors for putting their faith in my abilities, with their simple gestures of affirmation and recognition.

I never have ‘I-hate-Monday’ moments. Why? Because I know no matter how difficult the week might be, I have the full support of my teammates and Account Director. When I joined H+K in March 2013, I expected to stay a couple years and then move on for more experience elsewhere. Obviously, I was wrong! I haven’t stayed because H+K is my comfort zone; on the contrary, I face new challenges every day. H+K empowers me to demonstrate my potential. And if you’re ready, the opportunities are endless.

Starting my career at H+K has been the best decision I could have made. Since I joined I’ve participated in numerous trainings, earned my master’s degree, worked with diverse clients and made lifelong friends. H+K employs some of the most talented people in the business and I’ve immensely sharpened my skills working with them. And H+K has the benefits and power of a global agency with the community, culture and nimbleness of a boutique firm. That alone keeps me and most of my colleagues here.

When I joined H+K, I expected just a new logo on the wall. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Every day, I look forward to spending time with my diverse colleagues, working closely with teams in the UK, the U.S., South Africa and of course the Middle East. We’re united by our passion for the job, our relentless work to make H+K even better, and our obsession with creativity. What’s more, I’m at the forefront of seismic changes in the sector and regional capital markets, enjoying every minute.

Prepping for a day at H+K, I often look forward to solving the next big challenge and making a positive impact. Working in an environment that encourages growth has allowed me to showcase my full potential. The global network is also inspiring, connecting everyone—even on a personal level. So be it a fun atmosphere with smart colleagues, a mentor helping me push the boundaries, a diverse team, or accolades for client work, I love being part of H+K.

My day-to-day at H+K is spent ensuring our projects are on time and on budget, but most importantly, I contribute to some of the most high-profile public policy issues in Canada. We ensure the public has a voice in the decisions that will affect them; this meaningful engagement keeps me energized. Of course, this type of work can be challenging at times, but team collaboration is deeply ingrained into our culture. What better way to spend your day than with a great team and a job you love!
