After graduating from university, I started at LASCO as a sales administrative assistant in 2007 and was promoted to the position of Brand Representative in 2010.

I joined the marketing department as a Brand Representative in January 2010, so just about three-and-a-half years.
What's great about your job?
I truly enjoy the dynamism of my job. My weekly activities can vary quite a bit depending on what we have going on within the company. For example, in the last two weeks we have had two functions (REAP Awards Ceremony and International Nurses' Day), a grand draw for our LASCO Food Drink Mix & Win promotion, and a prize presentation to our grand prize winners. It is not every day that you get to change someone's life by presenting them with $1.5M!
Tell us something we might not know about LASCO.
First of all, we've been in operation for 25 years. Many of our consumers are surprised to know just how versatile LASCO products are. Take LASCO Food Drink, for example. Many people just think of the product as a drink, but really, it is so much more than that. LASCO Food Drink can be used to make unique desserts, or even be incorporated into every day dishes such as pasta, by using it to make a creamy sauce. With a little creativity the meal possibilities for LASCO Food Drink are endless!
Why are LASCO products so attractive to consumers?
One of the things that immediately hook our consumers is the affordability of our range of products. However, another feature that keeps them coming back is the quality of our products. We really try to give our consumers value all around with our product lines.
Where can consumers find out more about your brand?
I encourage our consumers to log on to our website, www.lascojamaica.com to learn more about our brand and the company as a whole.
