What do you do at Nudge?

Think about when you buy a toy, it typically comes with instructions. In the technology world, sometimes those instructions are not fully clear. My job is to help companies read and interpret the instructions, so they get the most use out of their new toy.

What would your career be in another life? 

In a different world and career, I would have loved to teach. I get so much satisfaction watching people grow, and seeing the impact you can make in those early years would be quite motivating. 

What’s your favorite thing about Nudge?

if you press /hammertime on the CMS, it plays hammer time.

What do you do when you’re not at work?

I love to spend time outdoors, especially at the cottage. 

How do you prioritize wellness and self care? 

It’s been great using Nudge’s Work From Anywhere program to work from various different places, as you can really balance work and wellness and self care. Also, my friends and I love to play hockey, so I was able to use my Nudge annual wellness allowance to purchase some new equipment to continue to do what I love! 

What’s something you’re challenging yourself with right now? 

Working with clients in Australia has been really cool, as you always have to be a day ahead in terms of planning and preparedness. It also changed my working style, forcing myself to time-block and delegate, as there is only so much time in one day  

What’s your favorite Nudge memory? 

Our COO Jordan Ekers wearing pyjamas to a formal Christmas party and feeling embarrassed about it.

What unique perspective are you bringing to Nudge?

My upbringing always taught me to never judge a book by its cover. This has really helped me at Nudge, to be more empathic about our users. Empowering someone through Nudge today could help them reach the next level soon, either internally or externally of their current employer. This is really motivating as you can then see how Nudge can truly make an impact.

What makes Nudge unique?

The tool reaches the deskless workforce and puts the needs of the deskless worker first. This means that every decision at Nudge is made with the end user in mind. This is a very humbling but strategic approach that sets us apart from our competitors.
