Proudly Serving: Sobeys Calgary Office, AB

Position: Business Coordinator, Alberta

Core Value: Stay Real

Integrity, honesty and understanding is vital to the role Kelsey plays every day as retail support for all the banners in Alberta. “To me, Stay Real is all that you really have,” she says. “If you don’t have your honesty and your integrity and you’re not real to yourself, you can’t be real to anybody else.” Kelsey genuinely cares about people, and her efforts and work ethic have not gone unnoticed. “Kelsey is an amazing leader and we are lucky to have someone with her talents and expertise working with us at Sobeys,” states the nomination letter. Mentoring others is the most rewarding part of Kelsey’s job. “There was a general clerk and I saw so much potential in her,” she says. “I knew she wanted this as a career, I gave her that stepping stone, but I was honest and open about all of my experiences. She’s moving up the ranks now and everytime I look at her I think ‘you can do this because I did this.'”
