Kathi Brent-Brakefield has had a diverse background in numbers…from Physics at theUniversity of Waterloo to working in the banking industry, completing the Canadian Securities Course and then moving to the Yukon in 1988. She’s worked in a variety of finance-related fields, from financial planning, to income tax preparation, to insurance (life, health, home & auto) and then with the federal government, where she worked in finance and compensation for several agencies.
She’s also been certified as a Notary Public in and for the Yukon for decades and she’s brought this wealth of information to the shop, training her colleagues to provide the same sort of service to our community.
In 2012, she took on the challenge of operating what was then The UPS Store, which has since morphed into the operation we have today as The Paper Trail.
Kathi’s broad background means that she knows a lot of things about a lot of things…so she’s often able to help people navigating the various processes we will suddenly find ourselves facingin life, and she’s passed along this knowledge to the other Yukon women who share her vision at The Paper Trail.
Never have I thought that I highlight of my day would be getting something notarized. The team at The Paper Trail, particularly Danielle, were the light I needed during an incredibly difficult and stressful day. I ended up needing to come back about four times in the day, and each time I was warmly welcomed, treated compassionately, and left feeling better than when I came in.
So grateful to the staff at the Paper Trail, particularly Xenia! She used her incredible patience, attention to detail and -most of all- true caring to help me through my paperwork nightmare. This place is a gem and Xenia is a true modern day hero for going above and beyond to get me out of a potential disaster! Support this local business where real people see beyond your administrative tasks and truly understand the impact that their services have on our real lives.
Always exceptional service here, and has been consistent for many years. Would absolutely recommend.
I just LOVE the paper trail! The owners are kind, helpful and community oriented. I cannot recommend their services, particularly the mailboxes enough. You won't be sorry bringing your business there !!
