Andrea Swinton
Andrea takes care of the "back of the shop" - everything from paying the rent to talking to the accountant. Her strong organizational skills ensure that these tasks are completed promptly. She brings experience in marketing, public relations and communications to the company and she is always looking for low cost (free), high impact marketing opportunities.
Andrea graduated from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Due to Andrea's strong organization skills, all these degrees, diplomas and certificates are kept individually in sheet protectors in a clearly labelled binder and naturally are in alphabetical order.
When Andrea is not updating the blog, she is power walking through the neighbourhood or doing yoga. Andrea collects coloured Depression glass. Andrea is a member of the Sports Clubs of Canada and has a Toronto Public Library card.
Andrea lives in Toronto with her husband, Martin.
