Explore my journey through diverse and unique experiences that have shaped my skills and passion in the marketing field.
Education
In 2019, I graduated with honours from the Dental Assisting program at Algonquin College, where I gained invaluable experience. My time in this program helped me begin to develop skills such as organization, collaboration, multitasking, and customer service—skills that are highly transferable to the marketing and business fields. This education not only deepened my understanding of client relations but also sharpened my problem-solving abilities, which I continue to apply in my current marketing career.
Career
In 2019, while still studying at Algonquin College, I began working as a dental assistant at Lotus Dental Clinic. This role provided me with hands-on experience in a fast-paced environment, where I further developed strong communication and interpersonal skills through daily interactions with patients and the dental team. I honed my ability to manage patient care, maintain detailed records, and assist in a variety of dental procedures. I have been working here for 5 years, expanding my knowledge in administrative tasks such as auditing charts and dealing with insurance claims.
Education
I began my studies at the University of Ottawa in 2020, focusing on accounting, and later transitioning to finance. As I explored various electives, my interest in marketing grew, leading me to transition to marketing in my last year of study. I am now in my fourth and final year pursuing an honours bachelor's degree in marketing where I can apply my passion for creativity.
