Summary

With over 15 years of experience in the Food and Beverage industry, thriving in front-of-house and

operations management, coupled with eight years providing administrative and entrepreneurial

support across various industries (technology, consumer goods, law, publishing, and manufacturing),

I bring a diverse skill set to contribute to your team's operations.

As the current Director of Administration for a company specializing in HVAC equipment for

indoor cultivation, I have amassed two years of invaluable experience in importing HVAC

(dehumidifiers) from Asia to Canada. This role demands meticulous supply chain management, a

sharp focus on quality control, and a proactive approach to address logistical challenges. Navigating

the complexities of international trade, I implemented systems to meet importation standards,

ensuring seamless production to our operations.

My entrepreneurial start-up experience has made me an agile, adaptable, strategic problem-solver. I

excel in collaborating with diverse personalities, and I am equally comfortable leading teams or

following direction.

In terms of education, I hold a Counselling Psychology diploma, providing a foundation for strong

analytical and interpersonal skills transferable to various professional settings. Additionally, the

completion of BCIT Economics and Business Systems courses further enhances my qualifications. I

also hold the Sommelier Level 1 diploma from the International Sommelier Guild and am currently

immersed in level 2.

Thank you for considering my application. I am eager to leverage my diverse skill set to seamlessly

integrate into your systems and enhance the efficiency and success of your operations.
