Rebecca’s O&B Story

When Rebecca graduated with a journalism degree in 2011, she dreamed of landing a job that allowed her to combine her passion for writing with her love of food and wine. Since joining O&B in 2012, she has been involved in many different aspects of marketing and communications, including menu editing, social media, digital content, donations, public relations, website management, and copywriting. O&B has continued to invest in Rebecca’s learning and development, offering tuition reimbursement for several continuing education courses at the University of Toronto. Moreover, in 2018 Rebecca was promoted to PR & Communications Manager, supporting O&B’s vision, mission and values across Toronto, Montreal, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton and Halifax markets.
