⚡️ MY EXPERIENCE
After achieving an MBA degree with a double major in HUMAN RESOURCES & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, I started my career journey in Human Resources Management. While I was predominantly performing HR-related roles, I was also involved in Executive support. So, when I returned to work after my maternity break, I transitioned into the executive support role. I have since then come to realize I find enjoyment in helping people and organizations become successful.
⚡️MY PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy is to help others find solutions. I help STREAMLINE PROCESSES, MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCY, and FOSTER PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS. I predict needs and practice personal accountability and am committed to excellence in service. I achieve this through empathy, productivity, and astute problem-solving.
⚡️ MY DIFFERENCE
I am an avid LEARNER and always aspire to learn new technology or subject streams that enable me to attain greater success in the roles I perform. I received the ACEA (Advanced Certified Executive Assistant), CCAP (Canadian Certified Administrative Professional), and the PACE (Professional Administrative Certification of Excellence) designations. I also completed a Certification in BUSINESS COMMUNICATION from the University of Toronto and LEADERSHIP IN ADMINISTRATION from the Rotman School of Business.
I have also won several HONOURS & AWARDS over the years for my academic achievements and was one of the five Finalists for the 2022 CANADIAN ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONAL OF THE YEAR AWARD.
⚡️ MY PASSION
I am passionate about both GIVING BACK and ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSION and actively volunteer at events and conferences within the Admin space. I have held several positions within the Executive Team of the Toronto Charter Branch of the Canadian Association of Administrative Professionals over the last few years and am the current PRESIDENT.
As an AMBITIOUS, OUTGOING individual who seeks opportunities that broaden my horizon, I work best in an environment that fosters learning and creativity. I continuously find ways to CONTRIBUTE, SUPPORT, and MAKE A DIFFERENCE to the executive and organization I support.
Whether a seasoned executive with a long history of assistance or an executive new to the assistant delegation, I always work COLLABORATIVELY to help harness the full potential of both the executive and me.
