Aspiring human resources professional with customer-service leadership and strong HR academic foundation.
What I'm looking for
I am an aspiring Human Resources professional with a decade of client-centered customer service experience and formal HR education. I combine practical frontline leadership with classroom training in recruitment, training, and employment law.
At McDonald’s I supported onboarding and mentored junior staff, promoting inclusive, safe workplaces and consistently delivering high-quality customer experiences. In insurance roles I processed high volumes of medical, dental, vision, hospital, and drug claims with attention to accuracy, compliance, and turnaround improvements.
My academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts and ongoing HR Management diploma and Management certificate coursework, equipping me with knowledge in leadership development and labour law. I am a member of CPHR Manitoba and an advocate for inclusive leadership and cultural understanding.
I bring strong digital literacy with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook), the ability to learn new systems quickly, bilingual fluency in Serbo-Croatian, and a proven record of teamwork, mentorship, and reliable administrative execution.
