Leah Smillie

Marketing Coordinator

I’m Leah, a business student motivated by work that combines strong operations with genuine human connection. I’m drawn to environments where success is measured not only by results, but also by the impact created, the relationships built, and the experience people have along the way.

I’m especially interested in work that connects business strategy with social impact, and in organizations that are intentional about the value they bring to their communities. At High Tide, I’m excited to contribute to a team that supports educational institutions and nonprofits through thoughtful partnership, innovation, and meaningful work.

Currently, I am studying Management Economics and Finance at the University of Guelph, where I’m gaining a well-rounded perspective on the business world. I’ve always been interested in people and the stories behind the work they do, which is what draws me to marketing and communications. I enjoy helping share High Tide’s story, while also highlighting the incredible impact our clients create in their communities.

Outside of work and school, movement and wellness have always been important parts of my life. Growing up playing competitive soccer and alpine ski racing taught me the value of determination, resilience, and hard work. These qualities continue to shape how I approach both my personal and professional life today.
