Summary

As part of my work experience, I have developed a range of skills. I have a strong base of organizational and leadership skills along with good communication, patience, and team-building experience developed through my past employment and experience as a varsity athlete at McGill University. I also engaged with the Black Student Network at McGill University, to help build more relationships with my peers at my university, and I am interested in engaging more with the Aspire employee resource group. On my floor team, I have been awarded as team MVP for hosting a series of campaigns. Beginning with the team food drive fundraiser I was responsible for tracking funding, reporting statistics back to the team, and finding initiatives to motivate engagement. I then drafted up a campaign to help our team with client experience interaction scores (CEI surveys) and encourage healthy competition amongst my peers, which yielded great results.
