Human Resources Administrator – Karina Botelho
Member of the WJS Canada HR Team
Karina Botelho is a member of the WJS Canada HR Team and works out of the Maple Ridge, BC office. We’ve asked Karina to participate in a short Q&A to help you get to know her. Here is what Karina had to say…
Q: What’s your role at WJS?
Human Resources Administrator
Q: What do you think makes WJS different from other organizations?
We have so many people from so many backgrounds – personal and professional. It makes WJS such a unique environment and a real ‘people-based’ company.
Q: Why did you want to work with WJS Canada?
I wanted to work for (and with) a company that strives to put their employees first, while doing the job. I wanted the opportunity to work for a company that was continuing to grow in a positive and beneficial way for all.
Q: What’s the most important part of your role?
Organizing, coordinating and communicating! As I coordinate so many aspects for new and existing employees of WJS (i.e. system access, passwords, ID, etc.), I need to stay organized at not only my desk, but for our team and the programs that reach out to me for assistance.
Q: Will you share something about you that we may not already know?
Most would not know that I have previously worked as a Professional Organizer and as a Trainer at a Women’s Only Kickboxing Circuit gym.
Q: What do you do outside of work?
I spend most of my non-work time, adventuring with my husband and my 9 year old daughter ~ we love travelling and try to do as much as we can! I am also an active member of a women’s only kickboxing circuit gym, where you can find me most days after work!
