What I'm looking for

I am seeking client-facing roles that combine education and financial services, offering opportunities to train others, deliver excellent client care, and develop long-term client relationships in a collaborative environment.

I am a Canadian professional with an MBA and ESL certification, combining extensive experience in education and financial services. I have taught English to students aged 3–16, delivering over 2,000 one-on-one and group classes with top rankings, and also taught elementary math in international settings.

My background includes client-facing roles across banking, investments, debt counselling, and wealth management where I trained new recruits, managed client relationships, and guided clients on financial planning, debt solutions, and insurance products. I have worked remotely and internationally in Canada, the US, Vietnam, China, Singapore, and the UK.

I bring strong communication, training, and client-care skills, proficiency with CRM and office systems, and a track record of adapting quickly to new roles to deliver results in both educational and financial environments.
