Marketing & Communications Coordinator for CDE, Brandon Wiltshire, is celebrating his third-year work anniversary and is busy organizing big events, making sure we're all continuing our education, and encouraging the public to take care of their teeth.
Let's take a few minutes to get to know more about him.
What do you like most about the work you do?
I love my job because it is all over the place and keeps me on my toes. From emptying garbage cans to emceeing annual events and everything in between, my job is never dull and there is always some special project to tackle.
What is your favourite task at work?
My favourite task is hosting the holiday party. I was really lucky that I was allowed to just run with it and do what I want and I think it is a blast to put on. It is a job where I get to be really creative and put in a lot of work to see something people really enjoy. Be sure to stretch first for this year's event!
What motivates you about what you do?
Having a mortgage to pay really gets me up in the morning. What seriously motivates me here is having an excellent team and an amazing supervisor who makes me want to do my best work every day.
Who has been your biggest influence?
My dad and my wife. My dad was a great leader in business and taught me how to properly treat and respect everyone. My wife has always supported me in every decision I make. From the smart ones to the not-so smart ones, she is always a support who sees more in me than I ever do in myself.
When you were in kindergarten, what did you want to be when you grew up?
My parents told me I wanted to be an orthodontist actually. Little did they know that science and I go together like oil and water. My actual dream job growing up was being a voice actor or radio host.
