Meet the Team

Carinta founded Global Currency Services in 2000.  After completing a degree in Economics, she continued her industry related education by completing the Canadian Institute for Financial Crime Analysis program, training with The Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Institute and holding a current Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) certification.   

Carinta and her husband justify their love of travelling by calling it “industry research” and enjoy exploring the world with their two daughters.   

When Carinta is not working or spending time with her family, she is finding ways to support her industry through the Canadian Money Service Association and supporting entrepreneurship through the Business Centre of Guelph Wellington. 

Parlo un po d’italiano.

Melissa joined the Global Currency Services team in 2017 and is by far the most well read  member of staff.  She dominates all staff trivia competitions and seems to have a personal and relatable story about every international destination.  She brings extensive customer service experience to this position which complements her previous studies at Humber College.   

When Melissa isn’t working, she is balancing the busy life of having two young kids and a new dog.  In between all of life’s busyness she still seems to find time to be the most up-to-date on all current events.   

Melissa can be contacted directly at melissa.weeda@global-currency.com

Desiree joined the Global Currency team in 2019.  Desiree’s previous experiences demonstrated what we’ve come to know and love about Desiree:  that she is adventurous, is excellent with client interaction and loves the outdoors!  Desiree previously studied at Sheridan College and has vast experience in management and customer service.  

Desiree and her husband recently welcomed their first child into their growing family.  We’re sure that it won’t take long for their daughter to conquer her first camping trip.
