I am a passionate and energetic person who loves to exceed results and develop member-centric relationships. I am a strong planner and problem solver, who readily adapts to change, works independently, and exceeds expectations, able to juggle multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines without compromising quality. I am wanting to secure a position where my existing skills in the areas of administration and customer service can be utilized by a progressive, innovative company or buisness, where my ability to communicate and liaise effectively with a diverse client group in a friendly and diplomatic manner can be put to good use.
