Arden St. André, Director of Operations, BA (she/her)

You can usually find me at our St. Albert location, juggling everything from digital media, marketing, and community outreach to hiring, team building, and—when I remember—watering the plants. Outside of work, I’m either exploring the great outdoors with my dogs or getting my hands muddy at the pottery wheel.

Simon Goyeau, Client Care Coordinator (they/them)

You won’t see me in the office because I work virtually, but rest assured that I’m busy in the background providing accounts receivable, insurance, and client care support. When I’m not working, you can find me building obstacle courses for my small human and feline family members, camping, and playing board games with my spouse.

Kaylee Allison, Client Care Coordinator, BSc (she/her)

You can find me at both our St. Albert and our Brewery locations throughout the week. I am often the person you will speak to when calling or emailing Summit, I also am in charge of running our social media accounts, booking appointments, and billing insurance. When I am not working I can be found rewatching my favourite TV shows or spending time with friends.

Vanishta Tancoo, Client Care Coordinator (she/her)

You can find me at both our St. Albert and Brewery locations. I’m passionate about mental health and love helping people feel supported. Whether it’s booking an appointment, giving referrals, or just being a friendly face, I’m here to make things as smooth as possible. When I’m not working, you can find me out for a walk, reading a good book, or spending time with friends and family.
