Office Manager

Jessica is an Office Manager with seven years of experience in the paramedical industry. Though not originally from Calgary (who is?), she was born and raised in a small town in southern Alberta. She attended Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario for almost three years before deciding that the PST was a deal-breaker, and her family was simply too far away. So, she picked a poor Ontario man to spend the rest of her life with and moved back to Alberta in 2009.

In her pursuit to help others achieve their maximum potential, Jessica has always valued an ethical, sustainable and purpose-led workplace. She is a relentless advocate for working smarter, not harder. Jessica is the champion of ‘slow is smooth and smooth is fast’.

Jessica strives every day to be fearlessly authentic and unapologetically herself. She is one part leader, two parts learner, two parts novelist and a hundred parts dog addict. She lives for fun and walks at Nose Hill Park with her two four- legged companions. Maybe she’ll see you there!

Tracey Wilkinson

Tracey Wilkinson,
Office Administrator

Tracey has spent almost her entire life in Calgary and this is home for her. She was in Hospitality for over 20 years as an event planner and loved what she did. That was, until covid hit and hospitality was the first industry to be shut down. This was when she had to make a very hard decision to leave what she loved for a new chapter in her life. When she found the medical field, thinking that doctor’s will always be in demand, it was a great step to make. Once she finished school and started her practicum at Momentum Health in West Springs, she realized she made the right decision! She was able to continue in the service industry that she loved, building relationships with patients/clients and seeing the patient reach their goal, much like seeing the completion of an event with great success!

When she is not working, you can find her outside, enjoying the short summers of Calgary with her husband and dog or reading a good book with her 2 cats on her lap.
