    Hi! I'm Evita. I am looking to work on projects that challenge me to explore new avenues of professional development and personal growth. All my experience has been outside of the Upwork platform, but my unconventional start at 16 in the work force has enabled me to really thrive and gain valuable insights and experience through different career paths. To be specific I have managed mortgage brokerages across Canada, help build and develop a start up department at a bank for mortgages, reach set out sale targets. I've created training guides and am not shy to be the first to pilot projects. I have 8 Years experience in banking, mortgages, investments, financial advising. This environment is considered high stress with no day ever being the same. I was customer facing so client satisfaction was also a priority, Cold calling, appointment setting, assisting, data entry, salesforce usage have been a big part of my career as well. I have received a tremendous amount of support and excellent reviews for my work ethic and helping clients across Canada. Adaptability, Accountability, Organization, Communication and Empathy are some of the skills instilled in me through this field. I also have over 7 years experience in wedding/event coordination's and continue to build my skill sets. I want to excel in what i do and know that one can wear multiple hates. I enjoy the thrill of learning new skills and adapting to ever changing environments but can also do routine work. But more than anything, I want to help in whatever capacity I can. I'm open to negotiating and connecting.
