Jennifer Schmalz
Proudly Serving: Dartmouth Office, NS
Position: Business Development Specialist
Core Value: Stay Real
After years of working alone on the road as a sales representative, it’s quite an adjustment to start working in an open- concept office, but Jenn Schmalz is a natural at being part of a team. With experience working with physicians, pharmacies, and offering continuing care, she was able to offer both practical and emotional support to a colleague whose family was suddenly faced with a life-altering situation, and she continues to do so nearly two years later. “She has been a light in a time of darkness,” wrote the woman who Jenn now sees as a surrogate daughter. “She works every day with the most genuine, kind, and positive demeanour. She is motivating, inspirational, and just a phenomenal person.” For Jenn, meeting people is the best part of the job. “I genuinely care about people, and if I say I’ll do something, they can depend on it,” she said. “Being open and warm in my interactions is who I am. I’m transparent, what you see is what you get.”
