Hello! 

I spent several years working as site admin at Scotford at the Air Liquide and Shell Upgrader plants. I did payroll and admin support working with the General Foremen, Superintendents, Quality Control, Safety officers and schedulers. 

Since 2004 I have worked in sales and managed a sales team across Canada and have extensive administrative experience in many areas.

I am interested in returning to work as site admin and open to hear about opportunities in this field. 

I would love to hear from you, please reach out!
