With extensive experience as an administrative assistant and receptionist in various companies, I have honed my ability to work independently and thrive without constant supervision. Assisting clients and colleagues in achieving a common goal brings me great satisfaction. My exceptional organizational skills, coupled with strong verbal and written communication abilities, enable me to effectively contribute to any team. Moreover, being fluent in French adds an additional asset to my skill set. Notably, my tenure at Thunder Bay and District Social Service Administration Board has equipped me with a deep understanding of the complexities of social services. I possess the unique ability to lead with empathy and compassion while maintaining professional boundaries and adhering to policies. This makes me an ideal candidate for the role at hand.
