@melaniaabad
I’m an administrative and virtual assistant who supports educators with reliable organization, scheduling, and data management.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail oriented, highly organized Administrative/Virtual Assistant with 14+ years of experience supporting educators, multidisciplinary teams, and families in fast paced school environments across Canada. I’m known for exceptional communication, reliability, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with calm efficiency.
In my most recent role as an Educational Assistant – Level D at Edmonton Public Schools (May 2016 – November 2025), I provided high level administrative and classroom support to teachers, specialists, and school teams. I prepared documents, reports, and learning materials using Microsoft Word and digital tools, while maintaining accurate student records, progress notes, and confidential documentation.
I also coordinated daily routines, schedules, and communication between staff and families, and supported individualized plans by tracking student goals. My approach is grounded in professionalism, empathy, and clear client-focused communication, even in sensitive or high-pressure situations.
Earlier, as an Educational Assistant at Fort McMurray Catholic School District (April 2011 – December 2015), I managed documentation, student files, and daily activity logs, assisted with scheduling and classroom organization, and communicated regularly with parents and staff to support program coordination. I bring strong confidentiality, workflow coordination, problem solving, and adaptability—plus solid tools experience in Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and virtual meeting platforms.
