What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my customer service skills while providing opportunities for growth and teamwork.

I am a dependable and adaptable worker with over 10 years of experience in customer service, teaching English, and office support. My TEFL certification has equipped me with the skills to teach conversational English effectively, while my background in accounting and administration allows me to manage tasks efficiently. I thrive in environments where I can help customers and support teams in their day-to-day operations.

Throughout my career, I have developed strong skills in problem-solving and communication. As a Fundraising Caller at iMarketing, I successfully adjusted scripts to enhance communication and consistently met daily goals. My experience as an ESL Tutor at Cambly allowed me to work with students of various ages, helping them improve their grammar and fluency in English. I take pride in maintaining a positive and professional demeanor in all my interactions, whether in customer service or administrative roles.

In addition to my professional experience, I have volunteered as a Distress Line Volunteer with the Canadian Mental Health Association, where I listened and offered support to callers in distress. This role reinforced my commitment to helping others and maintaining confidentiality. I am eager to bring my diverse skill set and passion for service to a new opportunity.
