Summary

With over 18 years of experience in business administration, notably at Colliers International, I excel in data quality assurance and complex document production. My expertise includes drafting legal documents with precision and a high proficiency in Microsoft Office. Renowned for building strong relationships and delivering results, I bring a blend of meticulous attention to detail and exceptional organizational skills.

I have been working in my current role for over 5 years; 4 of which I have worked permanently from home. Being proactive and keeping myself motivated and engaged in both my work responsibilities and collaborating with my team and colleagues has been an integral part of being able to do so.
