My first chance to work in an agency! I was hired to provide communications assistance as well as manage the project management system (Workamajig). After six months, I had streamlined the PMS in such a way that my services in that capacity were no longer needed. Also, the agency had such little need for a writer on staff that it was decided I would continue my relationship in a freelance capacity.

Upon moving to London, Ontario, I pursued a volunteer relationship with the local chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. There was a great demand for Office Volunteers which is what I became for over a year. In November 2011, the opportunity for part time employment came up and I was asked to join the team. However, after a board review of the 2012 budget, it was decided that the funds were in fact not available for me to continue in that capacity.

• Collaborated with senior management to create team communications promoting a shared understanding of the group’s business strategy, vision and values (newsletters, team presentations, emails, announcements, internal lunch sessions, and director forums)• Worked independently to develop and deliver Group IT project communications (e.g. software changes) to internal clients• After analyzing the existing Intranet and the communication needs/wants of the Group, captured stakeholder requirements and redesigned the Intranet making it a useful tool for staff and "customers"• Used HTML skills to create Intranet pages to support the Intranet redesign• Built relationships across departments and functions to keep me aware of the communications needs at all levelsWorking abroad is definitely something I recommend everyone do at least once in their lifetime. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me to adapt and be flexible as I navigated unfamiliar accents, processes, and standards. Most of the time, I was the only person handling communications within the Group so I had to create virtual teams across departments and follow my gut. The results are some of my proudest moments in my career.

As part of a large healthcare organization, I woke up three mornings a week to review the previous day's local news from four of Detroit's television stations on TiVo. I "clipped" and kept written record of every health care story and mention of the DMC's facilities as well as the amount of times each was repeated throughout the day. The report was then distributed to key stakeholders.

As a summer intern, you can't get much better than planning events like Pub Crawls and a Charity Cricket Game and BBQ all in the name of employee recognition and moral! This was also my first chance at the creation and implementation of communication plans which I managed for project and release launches. This ensured customers were aware of imminent changes to their IT systems and preempted possible complaints and issues.

Interacting with customers became a favourite part of my job as I discovered my ability to keep calm while I calmed others and came up with fitting solutions.
