What I'm looking for
I’m a Budget Coordinator with 15+ years of office management experience, consistently focused on clear communication, strong organization, and accuracy. At Concordia University, I collaborate with Facilities Management, Procurement, and Accounts Payable to generate analysis reports, create purchase orders, and process invoices—quickly learning new systems and mentoring colleagues along the way.
I also strengthen operational consistency by helping build departmental protocols, selecting the right accounting information, and generating management reports. From managing up to four email inboxes and multiple internal databases to ensuring energy usage invoices for 84 buildings are approved and paid promptly, I bring a detail-first approach that improves outcomes in fast-paced environments.
