I am a hardworking, fun, resourceful person who is a great communicator. I'm adaptable and pride myself on having the ability to jump in and hit the ground running. I am confident and learn quickly, but don't have a problem asking questions if necessary. I believe in being approachable and like to work in an open work environment. I'm able to communicate easily with all levels. I like to work independantly, as part of a team. Most of my previous roles have been fast paced, as I do like to keep busy.
I am looking for a long term position, with up to 32 hours per week.
My Background
My entire career has been centered on working with people and dealing with the public.
I worked in Tourism and hospitality for 10 years in Vancouver Canada, mainly for hotels and tour companies in front-of-house positions. I also got a Diploma in Television/Video production which turned out to be a great hobby. I then moved to the Cayman Islands to work for 2 years with the goal of paying off my student loan.
The next stage of my career was sales/marketing, administration and recruitment roles.
I took some marketing courses through BCIT in Vancouver and also did a one year working holiday in Australia.
