C'est en 2015, suite à ma diplomation de l’Université Laval à Québec, que je débuta ma carrière professionnelle en tant que responsable ressources humaines pour un groupe de résidences pour aînés pour lequel je travaillais depuis 3 ans. Ayant démontré un fort engagement et une persévérance à gravir les échelons, en moins d’une année, je devins responsable régionale du recrutement pour l’Est du Québec. Lors de cette expérience, j’acquiers plusieurs aptitudes dont la gestion de groupe, et ce, dans le cadre de journées de formation pour intégration en milieu de travail. Ayant comme objectif ultime de carrière de devenir directrice de résidence pour aînée, j’obtiens en 2018 une offre pour devenir directrice d’une résidence de 140 résidents.
Au même moment, mon conjoint débuta son aventure entrepreneuriale au sein de COOKIE BLUFF dont j’eu la chance de participer indirectement par mon soutien au niveau administratif.

Emily O’Brien is the founder of Comeback Snacks popcorn company. It all started when she went to prison. Before, Emily was an entrepreneur and social media professional, having created her own firm at a young age and enjoyed great success. Regrettably, addiction caused her to make some poor choices that culminated in a four-year jail term.
As her sentence began, Emily made it her mission to transform herself, get clean, and make a positive difference during her term. "I didn’t know how I’d make a difference at the time," says Emily, "but I knew I would find something I cared about that would benefit from a purpose-driven facelift."
Thus, Comeback Snacks (formerly known as Cons and Kernels)was born.
Upon her release, Emily made a decision to start a popcorn company that used high quality, health-conscious ingredients to create unique flavours inspired by the ones she found in prison. A fun, self-deprecating brand that would also help remove the stigma around people who had prior convictions and provide newly-released offenders with the chance at a fresh start through training, empowerment, and education.
