As an owner and Operations Manager at Elite Contracting, Beth manages the day to day operations of the company, from personnel issues to engaging with suppliers, contractors, and designers. Collaborating with these partners is definitely Bethany’s favourite part of her role — as a solutions oriented person, she loves ensuring all is in place for a successful outcome.

When not busy raising two young children, Beth keeps close contact with her extended family and friends, enjoys keeping active and works on her own personal projects.

As a project manager at Elite Contracting, Murray works with clients throughout all stages of the project to ensure that they are receiving the house of their dreams.

BOOKKEEPER

She grew up around stock cars, drag boats, motorbikes and snowmobiles before her parents decided to slow things down and get heavily involved with Draft Horses and saddle horses. This new life involved sleigh rides at Lac le Jeune Resort, draft horse driving competitions, cart and halter classes. For 15 years their family and close friends planned and organized their own 7-10 day horse-drawn wagon and outrider trail rides as their summer holiday. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree majoring in General Biology from Thompson Rivers University. 

Shalena handles the bookkeeping at Elite Contracting, numbers are her thing and she thrives in an organized environment.

Originally born in Edmonton, Alberta, Megan moved to Kamloops when she was 10 years old. She attended the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) before joining the team at Interior Elite Contracting. She quickly moved from Receptionist to Design Coordinator, where her responsibilities are vast: from organizing photography of completed jobs, new builds, and renovations to creating and updating task binders, receiving orders, interacting with clients, updating the showroom, and managing social media, Megan is the organizational task force behind Interior Elite.

She loves interacting with her coworkers and building relationships with clients. But her favourite part of the job is overseeing the progression of the home builds and photographing the journey. Outside of work, Megan is a talented baker and a published poet. She loves to spend time outdoors, whether it’s with her friends and family or her adorable dog.

After completing a 3-year Architectural Engineering and Technology program at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, Kirsty joined Interior Elite Contracting as a Junior Designer. She loves using her creativity in a professional setting and lends to Interior Elite’s family-oriented, positive work environment.

Growing up, Kirsty was a competitive figure skater and a talented hobby artist. An avid sketcher, she can’t remember a time when she wasn’t taking pencil to paper and decided to venture into painting 13 years ago. In her downtime, Kirsty enjoys spending time with her family, going for hikes and walks throughout Kamloops, or grabbing a coffee and heading to the dog park with her 3-year-old border collie, Faedra.

Kirsty will be going on Maternity Leave at the end of July and will be returning to us in a year’s time.
