Bilingual Administrative Assistant with experience in office administration.
What I'm looking for
I am a bilingual administrative assistant with a strong background in office administration and customer service. Fluent in both English and French, I excel in managing client communications and providing comprehensive support in document translation and live presentations. My experience includes optimizing administrative operations, handling customer inquiries, and collaborating with teams to deliver exceptional service.
Throughout my career, I have worked in various roles, including as a Receptionist and Customer Service Representative at FASTSIGNS® of Newmarket, where I managed calls, emails, and client interactions. As a Visual Communications Specialist, I collaborated with graphic designers to create custom signs and visual solutions for clients. My time at Tropicana Community Services further honed my administrative skills, where I managed inventory, organized documents, and facilitated communication between clients and project teams.
I am committed to contributing effectively to any team and am eager to leverage my skills in a dynamic work environment. My strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and service-oriented mindset make me a valuable asset in any administrative role.
