From hospital-based counselling roles to remote counselling support, I’ve maintained confidential client records, coordinated Zoom/Google Meet sessions, and prepared reports, referrals, proposals, budgets, contracts, invoices, and program records. I also bring strong digital case tracking and data/reporting skills using Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, CRM systems, SPSS, and Power BI.
