ANNA RIGHETTI | SHE/HER

Meticulous HR Administrator & Recruitment Advisor

I passionately believe in"leaving it better than you found it.” This guides my work and approach to each day.

After growing up in the Prairies, I began working in the live music production industry and relocated to Vancouver to join Live Nation in a Production Management role. Specializing in operations and logistics, I supported some of the largest event productions in Canada and organized over 100 events annually.

In 2019, my focus shifted towards internal business development, where I found my true passion. Now calling Vancouver Island home, I studied at both UVIC and Royal Roads focusing on HR Management and Employment Law.

These days I oversee Reimagine Work’s internal operations and work with our clients on recruitment and employee retention. I see recruitment as an opportunity for strategic development within an organization and to provide amazing opportunities for employees and help connect people with a position that inspires and challenges them. Nothing is more satisfying than finding the perfect candidate for the perfect role!

When I’m not deep in a spreadsheet or supporting our Reimagine clients, I can be found exploring Vancouver Island’s mesmerizing beaches and mountain tops with my family and dog, Lemon.

ALANA MARKS | she/her

Collaborative HR Advisor & Recruitment Specialist

HR is my favourite place to sit in an organization, it’s where the magic happens. My job is to live, breathe and support people every single day and I feel privileged to do it.

As a contractor with Reimagine Work, I consistently draw on my 10-plus years of experience in Human Resources. Prior to joining Reimagine, I supported teams in a variety of sectors, including government, construction, manufacturing, health care, fintech, and renewable energy, with significant experience building and scaling teams sustainably through periods of rapid growth.

Armed with a balanced and creative approach to human resources, I am well versed in designing people-focused strategies based on positive work culture norms, employee engagement, and team development that ensure all employees feel supported to do their best work.

I hold my Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) designation, am a licensed paramedic, and graduated from the University of Victoria with focused studies in Organizational Psychology and Ethics.

My greatest reward is helping people and teams reach their full potential, and collaborative practice is my foundation and I lean into that philosophy often to promote a positive and supportive environment.

I contribute my five early years living aboard in Saudi Arabia as the onset of my passion for travel. I spent my early adulthood traveling across Canada sailing and coaching sailing. When I am not hiking, cycling, or perfecting my downward dog, I love to visit old bookstores and tend to my ever-growing garden.

Recruiter and Operations Specialist

My road to Reimagine Work is a winding one…

After several years in the financial sector and an active career in real estate, I came in to help a friend and colleague with admin support on a massive recruitment. And then I helped with another one, and then another one. Over the years and through the roles I’ve had, I have developed excellent administrative and operational skills. My toolbox is a varied one, but it’s a robust one, ready to solve any recruitment, real estate or operational conundrum.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree with a double major in English Literature and Creative Writing from UVic. Originally hailing from Calgary, AB, I moved back to Victoria in 2014 after a particularly nasty winter, wondering if there was more to life than shovelling my sidewalk four times a day.

As for the rest of my world, I love enjoying a good coffee or cheeseburger, talking to every dog I meet, wandering my favourite bookstores, roaming the open roads on a good road trip, arguing with my cat Steve, and cheering on my often-trying Calgary Flames.

KAM HOGAN | she/her

HR Advisor

I was born and raised on Vancouver Island, and I have been working in the Human Resources field for over 17 years.

I am a certified HR professional and an associate certified wellness coach. My career has led me across the country, working in both the public and private sectors. I have spent many years within operational HR environments, creating and supporting effective partnerships between corporate initiatives and operational goals. I have also worked collaboratively with and in support of Indigenous communities and organizations.

Known for my calm and encouraging demeanour, I truly love the people side of HR. I specialize in training, recruitment, onboarding, performance management, employee engagement, organizational development, conflict resolution, and employee exits and off-boarding, just to name a few. I am also skilled in workplace investigations, specifically large-scale and/or complex matters.

Human Resources Administrator

I believe in creating fulfilling and meaningful work environments that allow people to reach their highest potential.

I am passionate about developing positive, inclusive, and effective work environments where people can personally and professionally flourish. I find it rewarding to support organizations in creating ethical and engaging workplaces where employees feel connected, inspired, and empowered.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a minor in Law, Societies, and Justice from the University of Washington in 2019. Shortly thereafter, I moved to beautiful Vancouver Island. While in the workforce, I was exposed to HR-related duties and felt a career in HR would best incorporate my studies and love for working with people. So, in 2021 I decided to go back to school to gain a more HR-focused education. I am currently at Camosun College finishing my Post-Degree Diploma in Human Resources Management and Leadership.

I enjoy hiking, running, travelling, and exploring this beautiful island that I am privileged to call home.

Human Resources Specialist

I love the expression, “Do what you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life.”

What I love more is, in HR, I get to help people love what they do and find a sense of belonging in their workplaces. Positive work cultures and helping to manage and oversee them get me jazzed up.

My background is primarily in Recreation and managing large teams of dynamic individuals. I love working with teams and building team culture and employee engagement. It’s that love that drew me into pursuing my Master’s degree and learning to better understand communication and relationships between co-workers and team members. Whether an organization is a service or product-based organization, people are always going to be what makes the organization succeed, and I love being a part of that people and culture team.

I have a Bachelor of Commerce in Entrepreneurial Management, a Master of Arts degree in Professional Communication, and my CPHR designation.

I grew up in Montreal, but Victoria will always be home for me. I love how I can drive 10 minutes from home and be completely immersed and surrounded by nature on any given day. I love spending time with my family, my puppy Enzo, travelling, cooking, and trying new foods. (Or really, anything food and/or eating related!)
