About
With a robust background in office administration, I have honed my skills over decades of experience. I began my career after completing an Office Administration degree at Howard S. Billings in 1985. My professional journey includes a significant tenure as an Office Manager at the Paper & Paperboard Packaging Environmental Council, where I supported executive directors, managed events, and handled digital marketing tasks. Currently, I serve as a Virtual Office Assistant at CatherinesVA, providing remote administrative support. I have also been actively involved in professional communities, including a voluntary leadership role as Past President of the Peel Halton Chapter of the International Association of Administrative Professionals. My commitment to professional development is further reflected in my membership with VA Insiders, where I engaged in networking and shared best practices. My career is marked by a dedication to efficiency, adaptability, and fostering professional growth.
