Barbie has been part of the automotive industry for an impressive 18 years. For Barbie, Vernon Hyundai is more than a workplace — it’s family. She describes her team as a “second family” and credits the people she works with as her favourite part of the job.
Outside of work, Barbie spends her weekends at her summer property, enjoying paddle-boarding, camping, and living the lake life. When it comes to dream drives, she’d choose a Hyundai Palisade for a road trip to Alberta to visit her kids. Her go-to local restaurant? Intermezzo.
If she weren’t in the automotive world, Barbie says she’d be happily retired, spending her days with her grand-babies. And here’s a fun fact: she loves riding dirt bikes and quads.
When it comes to the Hyundai brand, Barbie is one of its strongest advocates: “The Hyundai brand is fantastic — it’s been around forever, the warranty is wonderful, and if something ever goes beyond warranty, I’ll fight for you.”
Her advice for anyone looking for their first Hyundai is simple: trust the friendliest dealership in town (Vernon Hyundai)
