What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that allows me to utilize my organizational skills and creativity while contributing to a collaborative team environment.

As an Administrative Assistant at Life Preservers First Aid, I excel in organizing classes and events, utilizing tools like Excel and Shopify to streamline operations. My experience includes training new staff and ensuring smooth communication through phone and email interactions. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am dedicated to providing exceptional service.

My background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master of Management from the University of British Columbia. I have honed my skills in customer service and team collaboration through various roles, including as a Bakery Team Member at Whole Foods Market, where I managed high-pressure situations while maintaining quality service. My passion for mentoring is evident in my role as a Student Mentor, where I guide fellow students in navigating their academic journey.
