Bonnie Thiessen

Summary

I am a dynamic leader and communicator with a passion for mentoring young people, education, speaking, languages, coffee, and global travel. I never meet a stranger and I love to engage with others with the hope that they will believe that they can become the best of who they were meant to be and experience the world and the people in it to the fullest. My success in sales and bringing awareness to critical social issues shows my ability to engage and persuade those around me to action - impacting the community around them for the better. This is what brings me fulfillment.
