PROFILE

I recently graduated from Algoma University in Sault Ste. Marie with a four year Computer Science

Degree. My education provided a comprehensive set of skills through a diversity of Computer Science

courses that were complemented with an additional focus on e-Business and Economics.

My summer workplaces required a conscientious, productive, and collaborative approach in order to

fulfill all responsibilities. Each of these job experiences allowed me to build upon and develop strong

skills in the areas of communications, customer and colleague interactions and analytical approaches. I

was able to quickly utilize these skills to effectively and efficiently organize and prioritize tasks towards

successful completion/resolution in order to achieve a high level of customer satisfaction.

Additional key strengths that I have developed throughout my work and educational years include the

capability to grasp new concepts and procedures quickly, and to readily welcome opportunities to

embrace and address new challenges.
