What started as necessity became an eight-year crash course in service excellence\, teaching her that quality\, consistency\, and putting the customer first drive success. From there\, she expanded into high-pressure call center sales and went on to lead teams of 10 to 200+ across industries including online security\, travel\, healthcare\, and retail. Her leadership and workflow designs have consistently boosted satisfaction scores\, lifetime value\, and order sizes — proving that prioritizing customers leads to measurable results. \nTwelve years ago\, Tammy founded USUS Labs\, where she pioneered “customer experience stress testing\,” mapping real customer journeys to reveal friction and transform interactions. Beyond her corporate work\, she applies these principles in the community\, volunteering with local organizations and serving as President of HOPE food bank. Her story shows that service excellence is universal — from Big Macs to big brands. \nLearn more about our ELLEvate Women Entrepreneurs program!\nThis workshop is made accessible to you at no cost\, thanks to generous funding from the Government of Canada and Yspace: York University. \n*Please Note: Pre-registration is required.
