She joined RDF in 2014 as office Manager, then continued her growth within the organization and transitioned to Manager of Services & Technology. In this role, she implemented industry-leading technology that connected RDF’s teams across the country and overseas, allowing them to collaborate simultaneously, improving efficiency throughout the organization. Having industry-leading technology prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic, allowed us to transition seamlessly to remote working.
