WHO I AM

I’m an executive administration and operations professional with experience supporting senior leaders, regulatory committees and cross-functional teams across healthcare, regulatory, financial, technology and professional-services environments.

My work has involved confidential executive and committee support, high-volume operations, records and information handling, financial administration, procurement, onboarding, events, travel and process improvement.

I’m particularly strong in environments where priorities shift quickly and accuracy matters. Over the course of my career, I’ve supported complex workflows, sensitive information, multi-site operations and demanding stakeholder needs while maintaining professionalism and attention to detail.

I also enjoy identifying recurring administrative challenges and turning them into clearer processes, guides and systems that make work more consistent and easier to sustain.

My approach combines practical problem solving, strong communication, adaptability and respect for the people and organizations I support.

WHAT I OFFER

Human Precision, Digital Edge, Relentless Growth

My background combines executive and committee support, operational coordination, process improvement, healthcare, financial services and technology. I’m experienced in working within structured and privacy-sensitive environments while also adapting to new systems, tools and ways of working.

Digital & AI-Driven Tools

I’m experienced with Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, Adobe Acrobat Pro, CRM systems and PeopleSoft, with growing experience using AI-assisted productivity and workflow tools including Copilot, Notion, Zapier, Claude and Asana AI. I also have hands-on experience building and maintaining digital content through platforms such as Unicorn Platform and Shopify.

I’m interested in how technology can reduce repetitive administrative work, strengthen continuity and make information easier for teams to use.

Executive Administration & Operations

My experience spans executive support, committee administration, meeting coordination, agendas and minutes, confidential correspondence, records management, financial processing, procurement, onboarding, travel and event logistics.

I have supported an 11-person team, an 18-person committee and 17 assessors in a regulated environment and have developed administrative guides that were adopted to standardize recurring processes and strengthen organizational continuity.

HR Foundations & Team Support

My BCIT Human Resources Management education includes management, employment law, labour relations, recruitment, training and development, performance management and supervisory skills. Combined with experience supporting recruitment, onboarding and workplace processes, this gives me a strong foundation for working effectively with people and supporting healthy team operations.

Technology, Financial Services & Customer Operations

My earlier career in telecommunications and financial services taught me to think quickly in high-volume environments, adapt to constantly changing systems and products, and tailor solutions to the individual situation in front of me.

At the telecommunication organizations, I resolved complex account issues, supported escalations and tailored retention solutions around customer needs and account history. At the Visa Centre, I worked with account servicing, credit-limit reviews, lost/stolen card reporting and chargeback documentation while meeting performance targets.

Events & Digital Communication

I’ve coordinated conferences, workshops, town halls and team events, including events involving more than 300 attendees. I also have experience creating administrative communications, maintaining SharePoint and web content, and using digital design tools such as Canva to support clear and professional communication.

Healthcare & Clinical Foundation

My Medical Lab Assistant–ECG Tech training included patient-facing clinical experience in phlebotomy and ECG procedures. It taught me to remain composed, communicate reassuringly with anxious patients and work accurately in time-sensitive healthcare environments—skills that continue to influence how I approach pressure, service and problem solving today.

Continuous Learning

I invest consistently in professional development across privacy and information security, cybersecurity, Indigenous Cultural Safety and Humility, psychological safety, project management, AI-assisted tools and data technology. I believe adaptability is built through continuous learning, curiosity and a willingness to refine how work gets done.

What I Do

PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

I look for recurring administrative problems, clarify the workflow and document practical processes that can be repeated consistently by the people who use them.

KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER

I believe strong processes should not exist only in one person’s head. I create guides, documentation and clear instructions that help teams preserve knowledge and maintain continuity.
