Summary

Having relocated from Colombia to Toronto in 2023, I have been working as a Dynamic Home Renovator and Painter at The French Painter since arriving in Canada. Skilled in several painting techniques and finishes, drywall installation and cabinet building, I consistently deliver projects on time while demonstrating a strong work ethic and problem-solving abilities. While I enjoy the skills and opportunities I have garnered over the last 2 years in my current position, I am seeking to further expand my knowledge and expertise into new fields and exciting opportunities.
