I have also published three books: The Now Age: Demystifying Spirituality, the New Age, and the Metaphysical; Angels Abound: True Stories of Angelic Encounters; and an illustrated book for children entitled My Angel ABCs.
I have experience in copywriting, business correspondence, advertising, and translations.
I am currently Content Editor for Moxi Femme magazine.
Previous Employment:
From 1991 through 2001, I worked as a freelance journalist/regular columnist for Metroland Publishing (Era Banner Newspaper) in York Region.
From 1988 to 1990, I owned and operated a personnel placement agency (Cachet Management Consulting) in Richmond Hill, Ontario.
I also have an extensive background in administrative functions, gained throughout many years in top level administrative assistant positions, from about 1980 through 1995. Positions held included secretary to Vice President of Prentice-Hall Canada, (about 3 years), Administrative Assistant to President of Vertex Corp. ((2 years) and several years acting as Administrative Assistant in 2 business centres, YCC Business Centre and Slough Executive Business Centres.
I have worked as a promotional event co-coordinator for Pike Chiropractic Centre in Keswick, Ontario, as well as for Arcana New Age Centre. I also organized Kids’ Day in Georgina.
I have volunteered teaching adult literacy for the Literacy Centre of Georgina during the period 1996 – 1997.
Computer: Excellent computer skills (various word processing programs, excellent keyboarding, internet and email skills, some knowledge of web programming and graphic design).
Teaching/Motivational: I have been teaching and facilitating personal development workshops through Arcana New Age Centre both in person and on-line, through courses I created, since 1997.
General: I have honed my organizational skills through not only through various corporate positions, but through running my own businesses. I have always excelled at effective communication, prioritizing and completion of projects, as well as creativity in helping executives and colleagues get their jobs done.
I communicate very effectively with people at all levels. I have taught socially and developmentally challenged adults through my volunteer work, I have taught adults in recreational courses through night school programs, and I have coached adults in personal development through workshops.
I am equally effective in leadership functions as well as working with a team. Making a positive difference for other people motivates me in any working environment, and I enjoy finding new ways to be of assistance in any position. I am outgoing, focused and very positive, and would love the opportunity to share in our community and globally.
