Summary ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⁠

After several years working in offices, I recently relocated to Alberta, and I am now seeking employment with smaller businesses embedded in the community where I can work face-to-face with people in my neighbourhood and contribute to a close-knit team. I thrive in environments that are dynamic and fast-paced and I bring to my work a high level of reliability, adaptability and professionalism.
