Client Services

After moving to the island with her family in 2021, Andrea joined the Kalinka team and brings with her 20+ years of client service experience. Consider her your go-to for anything administrative, like booking a meeting or help with your IG online account. She is a natural people person and continues our tradition of providing an excellent experience to each client.

Andrea has five children, is an adept hair stylist, enjoys exploring the outdoors with her dogs, and enjoys coffee as well as wine (the good stuff).

Anna is excited to be a part of the Kalinka Group!  She brings steadfast client service, responsiveness, and an empathetic and personalized approach to working with our client families.

Before taking time off to raise her family, Anna worked in a variety of client service support roles in both the private and public sector.  Most recently, while being home with her two small children, Anna kept herself busy running a successful small business here in Victoria.   Balancing the demands of work-life and mom-life has taught her the value of excellent organizational skills and effective time management. She loves connecting to others and always looks forward to getting to know and supporting our clients.

Anna loves spending time in the summer with her husband and two children at their family cabin on Hornby Island.

In her spare time Shannon enjoys camping with her family, the occasional glass of wine, and spending time with Mike and their two daughters.
