Summary

I am passionate about my career in customer service and how I have evolved over the years into a management role. My desire to apply as an Independent Contractor with the Chilliwack School district comes from a passion of being a host parent to various kids from around the world. I have been able to apply my coaching techniques learned through training at TELUS to coaching the kids in the home stay program along with the families that have found it more challenging.

I consider myself Insightful Manager with experience directing and improving operations through effective employee motivational strategies and strong policy enforcement. Proficient in best practices, relationship building and team supporter.
