HR Administrator at TELUS Communications

My early beginnings in Operations and People Management in the service industry have been supplemented by my education in Business, Leadership and Human Resources Management at Capilano University in Vancouver, BC (BBA degree, June 2008).

BBA , Strategic Human Resources Mgmt , 2003 — 2008
I am a recent graduate from Capilano University (former College, recently granted University status by our Provincial Government)
Capilano U has a terrific BBA program that is built on dedicated, skilled instructors providing application and project-based learning.
The benefit of this type of learning is that students with less experience in the workforce are able to apply the skills taught in a safe environment.
For me, paired with my past employment experiences, I was able to quickly relate to my knowledge and build a solid foundation which has made me adaptable and able to hit the ground running in every situation.
Advanced courses include: Leadership, Negotiations, Human Resources Management, Industrial Relations, Small Business Management, Finance, Strategic Management, Management Decision-Making...
