What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, supportive role where I can apply teaching and administrative strengths, contribute to student development, and grow professionally in education or office management.

I am an enthusiastic Grade 1–2 teacher and experienced administrative professional with a strong background in classroom instruction, child development activities, and parent collaboration. I bring years of reception and document-management experience in medical and insurance settings, with strengths in record-keeping, scheduling, and patient/customer service.

I consistently deliver organized, reliable support under pressure, using tools such as Microsoft Word and Excel, Elixir, and FetView to maintain accurate records and streamline processes. I am motivated by continuous improvement, teamwork, and creating positive, structured environments for children and clients.
