Meet the Team at The Food Safety Market!

Lisa

Lisa Waechter

 
Serving as our IT Manager/Tech Support, Lisa Waechter has been an extremely valuable member of the Food Safety Market team since January 2015. In her position, Lisa acts as the organization’s second level of tech support, handling tech-related issues that other agents can’t. She also assists with program design and development, and is responsible for making the online training components available to users on the FSM Campus. Since she joined the team, Lisa has kept the FSM website alive by building interactive pages, sending news blasts out to subscribers, posting food safety blogs, and more. Lisa also supports organizations when they choose to host FSM online courses on their own internal learning management systems by working with their technical teams to ensure that everything functions and communicates correctly.
 
Her role is constantly evolving, with Lisa eagerly taking on new roles that have seen her become responsible for all internal tech support within the FSM office, as well as establishing and enforcing company policies, procedures, and processes. Lisa brings decades of technical support experience to her role at FSM, helping customers better understand the problems they experience.

 
Prior to joining the FSM team, Lisa earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from York University in Toronto, Ontario. After graduating, she worked in software development within corporate offices, becoming a nationally certified coach in the 1990’s and serving as a coach and personal trainer before transitioning into sports and recreation in the early 2000’s. Outside of the office, Lisa, her husband, and their two young boys are involved in holistic farm management, running Double D Pastures in Collingwood, Ontario.

Marina Lynn

Since January 2015, Marina Lynn has wowed customers in her role as Food Safety Market’s resident Customer Service Representative. Marina is the first contact for FSM customers, helping to troubleshoot their problems, walking them through any issues they encounter, and assisting customers in placing emergency orders. She’s also responsible for completing the certification process for food safety trainers and proctors by creating and setting up their accounts, and explaining products and processes to them.

 
In her role at FSM, Marina has been able to develop excellent problem solving skills, helping to guide customers through questions and issues they encounter, no matter how big or small. She excels in adding her own personal touch to interactions with every customer, taking the time to listen to and get to know customers on a personal level, ensuring that customers have the best experience possible by encouraging them to open up to her and going the extra mile by leaving a positive impression with every interaction.
 
Before working at FSM, Marina lived in British Columbia for 23 years, working as an auto insurance adjuster for much of her time there. After her time in BC, she returned to her hometown of Collingwood, where she continues to reside today. When she’s not in the office, Marina enjoys reading true crime and horror novels, drawing and painting portraits, and knitting. She’s also an avid fan of music of all genres, though she has a particular fondness for new wave. Marina looks forward to attending her first music festival in the summer of 2019, and continuing to raise hell in her free time.
