I have experience designing and publishing digital magazines, newsletters, event tickets, and posters.

ADMINISTRATION/COORDINATION
My
administrative and coordination skills were tested as the Vice-Chair
and Secretary of the Young Barbadian Professional Society where I
oversaw the administration of the Board of Directors and the
organization as a whole. As volunteer Administrative Coordinator at a
Toronto-based non-profit, I coordinated the complete administration of
their body of ordained ministers. These experiences gave me the
expertise to support other organizations as a consultant.

My
television experience includes volunteering as a weekly TV camera
operator with RogersTV's mobile productions division. I worked camera
for CJHL and Ottawa 67s hockey games. I currently volunteer as a TV
