What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a financial institution that values teamwork and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a sincere, loyal, and dedicated individual with a wealth of experience in customer service, particularly within the financial sector. My analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, honed through statistical mathematics, enable me to tackle challenges effectively. I thrive in team environments but am equally comfortable working independently, always eager to learn and take on new challenges.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have strengthened my customer service abilities and financial acumen. From my time as a Teller and Customer Service Representative at TD Bank to my role as a Banker III at Peoples United Bank, I have consistently delivered exceptional service while managing complex banking transactions. My experience as a Store Supervisor at Marshalls further developed my leadership skills, where I motivated teams to enhance sales and ensure operational efficiency.

Currently, I am pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting at Western University while applying my skills as an Accounts Receivable Clerk at 42 North Dental. I am excited to build a career in the financial industry, where I can leverage my skills and experience to contribute positively to an organization.
