After a few years, I quit my full-time job of 24 years and joined Epicure on a full-time basis. I always felt welcomed and supported by the larger Epicure community and never looked back on this decision. I hope to continue growing my team, develop fantastic leaders and support them in their endeavours. The spirit of caring and sharing with Epicure is what makes us all successful! It\u2019s an amazing feeling to see people achieve their goals and be able to celebrate their success. In 2013, I received the Caring and Sharing Award which is a beautiful honor to receive from your colleagues. Being a team player is what work is all about. I also earned several trips. I\u2019ve been to St Lucia, Cuba, Mexico, Portugal, Hawaii, and more! Epicure changed my life.
