Working ON your staffing business, while also working IN it! A Panel Presentation

As an Indigenous-French-Canadian woman and entrepreneur, Jennifer dreamed of leading a purpose driven organization, from anywhere in the world - that employs top talent who are hungry to serve, grow and leave a legacy worth following. Staff Shop now provides the platform to keep that dream alive as an award-winning diverse supplier. After growing up in Northern Ontario with a heart for Hospitality, Jennifer made her mark in Staffing by joining The Bagg Group (now TalentWorld) in 2008, and excelling with one of Toronto's most trusted full-service agencies since 1971. In 2013, Jennifer created Bagg @ Your Service - The Bagg Group's first Hospitality & Event division. In late 2018, she purchased her creation, and Staff Shop Inc. was born.

Jennifer's story is one that celebrates the triumph of Good over Evil. The odds were stacked against her as a survivor of suppression challenges faced by women, especially Indigenous women including; alcoholism, abuse, neglect, trauma, abandonment and imposter syndrome. She is now focused on breaking the silence, ending generational curses and stopping unhealthy cycles. Driven by Faith-Passion-Freedom at her core, there is no limit to the positive impact Staff Shop can have on humanity. And that is what brings her joy and energy daily to do what she does best, and inspire others to reach their full potential.
