Summary

I currently employed as a Dental Assistant for the previous 15 years. I am seeking a position in Human Resources that will challenge and utilize my proficient problem-solving and interpersonal skills. I am a quick learner and maintain strengths in building positive relationships in the workplace. I thrive on managing priorities and multiple assignments while keeping goals in mind. I am an established Jasperite/home owner who worked for Jasper Park Lodge from 2000 to 2003 in several roles. I have fond memories of my experience on the property and would embrace the opportunity to return in a different capacity.
