What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values collaboration, supports professional growth, and fosters innovation.

I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in administration, coordination, and organizational support. My experience spans various roles, including an Account Executive/Coordinator at MAS Holdings, where I successfully managed a high-volume account for Victoria’s Secret, ensuring on-time delivery and operational efficiency. I have been recognized for my achievements, including being named a Frontier Lead Executive, which reflects my commitment to excellence and my ability to drive results.

In addition to my corporate experience, I am passionate about education and currently serve as a part-time instructor at multiple institutions, including Niagara College and Ace Acumen Academy. I have developed and implemented engaging lesson plans that enhance student learning and foster a supportive educational environment. My teaching methods emphasize the importance of accurate record-keeping and data management, skills that are essential in today’s business landscape.

With a Master’s in Business Administration and several professional qualifications, including CMA and CIM, I am well-equipped to contribute to both organizational success and student development. I am committed to continuous improvement and look forward to leveraging my skills in a dynamic work environment.
