@gabriellahughey
Adaptable administrative professional skilled in bookkeeping and customer service.
What I'm looking for
I am an adaptable, detail-oriented administrative professional with hands-on experience in bookkeeping, client communications, and customer-facing roles across libraries, retail, and culinary environments. I bring a strong foundation in QuickBooks, Microsoft Office, and point-of-sale systems, paired with bilingual fluency in English and French.
In recent roles I managed payroll, employee documentation, and legal document processing for a remote cleaning company, prepared and reconciled monthly invoices, and ensured timely completion of business deadlines. I have also provided front-desk library services—managing circulation, offering basic tech support, enforcing policies, and supporting program displays and children's areas.
I pride myself on clear communication, organization, and problem-solving, with experience de-escalating conflicts, supporting event and catering operations, and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and presentation. I work well in team-oriented settings and adapt quickly to new processes and responsibilities.
