Summary

Extensive experience in IT, financial, HR and and managed systems, updating electronic systems accurately, handling budget information confidentially, and following established procedures and operating guidelines. I take pride in my attention to detail and ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining accuracy, particularly when working with members of the public. I am comfortable using IT systems and learning new digital tools quickly. In my current role I manage multiple information systems such as SIMS, iTrent, microsoft 365 applications, including Teams, Outlook, Excel, Word and SharePoint.

Working effectively as part of a team is one of my strengths. I believe I am a reliable, flexible, and supportive person, and I understand the importance of clear communication to ensure services run smoothly.
