Professional summary


I never want to be just one thing in life, so I am working towards my Health Office Administrator college diploma and have in-depth knowledge of medical terminology and office procedures. As a continous learner, I have also earned a diploma in bookkeeping and made the Dean's honour list with a 3.9 GPA.

It is my hope that my future field placement training will develop my booking, triaging, and EMR skills and hone my time-management abilities. Two years of previous pharmacy bookkeeping experience, which draws on accuracy and organizational strengths, provides a firm foundation and broadens my offering.

I am patient-focused, compassionate, and a multi-faceted care support partner; a great asset to any health team.
