Summary
I am a highly organized and reliable individual who works well both independently and as part of a team. I have experience working with children and youth through my roles as an ice hockey referee and as a volunteer with Special Olympics and Challenger Baseball, where I helped support inclusive and engaging programs. These experiences have helped me develop strong leadership, communication, and conflict resolution skills, particularly in fast-paced environments. In addition, my work as a Harbour Attendant has strengthened my sense of responsibility, safety awareness, and ability to manage tasks efficiently. I also have knowledge of program support and am proficient in computer applications including Microsoft Word, Excel, and Google Sheets.
