Summary

I have 22 years of part-time and full-time work experience that have consolidated excellent skills in written/email and oral communication, a sound knowledge of front-line customer service delivery, and competence in basic office administration. The skills gained have enhanced my capacity to think under pressure and deliver outcomes within expected time frames. I place high value on principles of trustworthiness, loyalty, and integrity. A self-starter committed to high professional standards, I can work independently or as a team member and relate well to people from all walks of life.
