Queen Schella Ingabire
@queenschellaingabire
Bilingual Administrative Officer delivering compliant, English-French administrative operations across federal and university settings.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual administrative professional with five years of continuous experience supporting the Canadian federal government and the university sector. For three years, I served as the administrative anchor of an IRCC director’s office—managing a divisional public mailbox, routing requests to the correct authority, translating reports and decks between English and French, and maintaining records under federal privacy and access-to-information requirements.
I bring strong operational discipline to every stage of intake, documentation, and coordination. I’ve coordinated meeting logistics and task flow across teams, performed data analysis, research, and transcription in support of ATIP consultations, and supported community engagement operations at the University of Ottawa by managing inboxes, processing partnership documentation, and translating materials for students and partners.
