My role involves managing over 40 client accounts, leading major projects, and driving product development based on client feedback. Previously, I was a Project Coordinator at Corrosion Service Company Limited, where I successfully led multi-million-dollar projects and developed health and safety protocols. My experience also includes roles as an Accounts Receivable/Project Accountant at Canadian Energy Services and Peddie Roofing and Waterproofing, where I managed full-cycle accounting and credit risk analysis.
