Padmini Balkissoon

I enjoy brainstorming initiatives and executing a plan to success. I graduated with honors from the University of New Brunswick with a BBA degree and am always looking for opportunities to learn new things, grow and share my experiences. My passions are painting, hiking, and badminton.

Currently, I am studying Graphic Design, and I thoroughly enjoy the process and the end results. I understand that the industry is fast-paced and I respect deadlines.

My exposure to volunteer work and extra co-curricular activities has enhanced my organizational, creative, verbal and analytical skills as well as increased my adaptability to work well in teams or independently.

I have worked at a start-up company called iTransform for approximately two years as a Digital Marketer. There, I created content for the website, blogs, newsletters, and social media; and strategically delivered qualified content to potential clients. I also created analytic reports based on past performance and used them as a guide or benchmark for future improved performance. Additionally, I’ve become more skilled at integrating in-depth research into my daily activities and completing my tasks well before the deadline in a fast-paced environment. 

Currently, I am studying Graphic and Communication Design, and I volunteer at Shelter Movers Moncton as a marketer/designer occasionally. From my combined experiences, I have gained a working knowledge of a few Design tools such as Slack, Wordpress, Wix, Google Suite, Hootsuite, Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Hubspot, and more. 

I studies Business Administration at the University of New Brunswick and gained a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in 2019. There I understood the technical side of running a business as well as the different means to promote it.

In 2022, I started Graphics Design and Communication course at the New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) and will be graduating mid 2024. I am currently learning the Adobe suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Ilustrator, and other designing tools) as well as website coding( CSS, HTML).
