What is your favorite part about your job ? My favorite part is the relationships we build with the farming and distilling partners we work with around the world . I feel very fortunate to have personal relationships with them and to be involved in a hands-on way in how and where our Co-Impact Sourcing initiatives happen . I also love seeing the tremendous impact we ’ re able to have as a company by approaching sourcing in the way we do , and also through our dōTERRA Healing Hands Foundation ® efforts . Seeing this firsthand and interacting with partners we have around the world are certainly highlights of my job .
What else do you want people to know ? I want people to know how amazing our Sourcing Team is . We have a truly incredible group , and I ’ m so grateful to be part of this team . There is literally not a day out of the year when at least one of us isn ’ t somewhere around the world on the ground for a sourcing trip , working to ensure that we maintain strong relationships with our partners and that we are sourcing enough oil to keep up with the growth of the company .
