  • Principal

    Monica’s favourite aspect about WHM is the supportive atmosphere and that people celebrate personal and professional victories. “I’m lucky enough to call my colleagues friends, and that’s a big reason why coming to work is always enjoyable,” she says. A self-confessed ‘gym rat’ and hiker who hits the trails and works out whenever possible with her partner, she also enjoys slowing it down and sitting by the ocean for a coffee with her dog and daughter.

  • Administrative Assistant

    Born and raised in Vancouver, Samantha is the person who can be counted on to always keep projects in check and on point in the WHM bullpen. This self-confessed ‘cat-centric’ soul has two cats that share her home, but she also rescues and fosters as many animals as possible that can’t help themselves. Pastimes that keep her busy include gardening, snowboarding and riding her bike, and her favourite thing about Vancouver is the marine air.

  • Proposal and Marketing Coordinator

    It’s WHM’s focus on promoting and maintaining a positive work-life balance that is one of the major reasons why Jules has embraced her role at WHM. She moved here in 2015 from Australia and had to adjust to the stretches of rainy winter weather, but quickly fell in love with the natural beauty. “I love that we’re so close to mountains and lakes and there are plenty of community activities to do all year round.”

  • Staff Accountant

    Born and raised in Sri Lanka, Dinesh was drawn to Vancouver to pursue a career in accounting and finance because of the city’s excellent post-secondary educational institutions and diverse cultural experiences. For Dinesh, teamwork is what makes the WHM dream work. “It leads to innovative solutions, better problem solving, richer discussions and a broader range of ideas being shared,” he says. Outside of work, he enjoys playing cricket and indulging in his love of cinema.

  • Staff Accountant

    Olga (which is typically pronounced as “OHL-gah”) was born in Russia. One freezing day, standing in -40°C weather and with her car unable to start, she dreamt of a warmer climate, eventually moving to Vancouver in 2009 (just in time for the 2010 Olympics). She couldn’t imagine living in another place, one where you can ski and swim on the same day, or enjoy year-round activities from kayaking to snowshoeing.

    Olga loves being part of the WHM team, involved in so many projects among a fantastic group of professionals while also enjoying the creative and fun company events and activities. Working and being married with two sons can be a busy life, but Olga is lucky enough to have a Finnish sauna at home, all the best to unwind with friends and family.

  • Proposal and Marketing Coordinator

    Born and raised in the Greater Vancouver area, Laura has always cherished the lifestyle and natural beauty of British Columbia. Throughout the seasons, she stays active and inspired—snowshoeing in the winter, exploring local trails, and visiting some of the Tri-Cities’ top craft breweries. In the warmer months, she tends to her organic vegetable garden, and year-round, she enjoys creating handmade pieces in her pottery studio.
