“The song is ended but the melody lingers on” – Irving Berlin
Tia takes a new meaning to ‘making dough’. Tia moved to Calgary after acquiring a chemistry degree at the University of Windsor, and opened up a number of Tim Horton stores in Calgary and area. She quickly gained the skill of managing the entire process from a simple schematic on paper through to construction, inventory set-up and, hiring and training employees to a turnkey operational store greeting clients. After receiving numerous sales achievement awards, managing well in excess of 200 employees at a time and annual sales of $8 million plus, she has developed sound processes which is transferable to Citysearch and the property management & real estate businesses. Tia, aka ‘The Doughnut Queen’ is an appropriate and well-deserved moniker.
In her free time, Tia loves to sing and participates at live music events, solo or in groups. Tis has passed on these talents to her two children. Grateful for an amazing network of family, friends and business associates, Tia is a ‘chef extraordinaire’ and makes sure she welcomes everyone to her table because ‘we are with people and communicating and that makes everyone feel good.’
Tia is involved in the Citysearch office operations working with both owners, tenants and vendors making the multiple tasks of running a property management business, all seem simple.
