Analytical, organized and detail-oriented coordinator with expertise in a full spectrum of management circumstances. Collaborative team player with an ownership mentality and a track record of delivering the highest quality products and strategic solutions to resolve challenges and propel business growth.

Dear Geraldine Chen, 

I was excited to see your job posting for the project coordinator, digital media and events position and believe the skills and experience outlined below, and in my CV, would be valuable to your organization. 

Drawing on years of coordination experience, my background in street art, and insight meditation practice, I guide and plan projects through technical, creative, aesthetic phases of project management and product development while keeping my cool. With a deep, detail-oriented, and holistic approach, I ensure projects stay on scope, budget, and schedule, fostering team harmony, optimizing operational efficiency, and satisfying sponsors and stakeholders. 

At Linkup, I applied big-picture thinking in executive meetings, addressing company vision, change management, and departmental processes. I facilitated decision translation, offered support, and coached international teams for marketing and design goal alignment. In my 5+ years, I was integral in growing the company catalogue and successfully led a wide range of end-to-end product development projects, from product design to package design, while driving continuous product improvement and employing a continuous learning approach. 

At Ontario Vipassana Centre I efficiently managed multiple projects, including implementing a change management system for high-turnover volunteer teams. I organized and conducted orientations, training a rotating group of volunteers for our commercial kitchen to serve over 120 people per course with tight deadlines. 

In my presence as President of the Board of Directors at OVC I fostered a thriving work environment by promoting a holistic management approach that encouraged teams to think beyond micro-level trends and collaborate harmoniously. Notably, we developed protocols and schedules to navigate openings, closures, and compliance with government mandates during the challenging pandemic years. 

As a power user, I’m quick on my toes regarding learning any software needed to complete tasks at hand, and am confident I can learn CRM (HubSpot) in no time. 

I’d love to meet and learn more about your needs for the role. 

Sincerely, 

Patrick East
