Summary

As a Trust Administrator at EMERY JAMIESON LLP, I apply my accounting skills and knowledge to manage the trust accounts of the firm. I graduated with an Associate's degree in Business Administration- Accounting from NAIT in 2020, where I learned the fundamentals of accounting, taxation, and finance. My core competencies include interpersonal skills, organization skills, and multi-tasking skills, which help me to communicate effectively, prioritize tasks, and handle multiple deadlines.

Before joining EMERY JAMIESON LLP, I worked as an Accounting Technician at Kelly Hoy Professional Corporation Chartered Accountants, where I assisted in preparing tax returns for personal and corporate clients. I used various programs, such as Microsoft Excel, QuickBooks, Caseware, Adobe, and Kofax, to perform data entry, analysis, and reporting. I also worked as a Claims Assistant at Wawanesa Insurance, where I supported the claims department with administrative tasks and customer service. In both roles, I contributed to the team's efficiency, accuracy, and quality of service, and gained valuable experience in different aspects of accounting and insurance. I am motivated by learning new skills, solving problems, and delivering results. I value collaboration, diversity, and integrity, and I strive to bring these values to the workplace. I believe that my diverse background and perspectives can enhance the performance and culture of any organization I join.
