  In my role as HR Generalist, I am responsible for full-cycle recruitment, document and policy development, performance management support, and effective human resources at Scw’exmx Child and Family Services Society (SCFSS). I complete recruitment activities, from talent acquisition to onboarding and orientation for new hires. Additionally, I maintain policies and human resources documents, statistics, and provide HR support to our member communities. I also administer training, professional development, and employee wellness programs at SCFSS. This position requires a high level of professionalism and confidentiality in interactions and maintaining standards of practice based on provincial and federal employment standards and law. Working with SCFSS, I have gained knowledge, understanding, and sensitivity to the historical and systemic impacts of intergenerational trauma on Indigenous families and communities from colonialism, residential school history, the sixties scoop, and association with the child welfare system. SCFSS has provided me with Level 1 training of the nłeʔkepmx language as well as ongoing inclusion of cultural traditions. Show less

• Clerk Typist

  • Oct 2021 - Jun 2022

  My role as Development Services Clerk was a temporary role created to assist the Development Services Department with the high volume of work as a result of the increase of development in Merritt. The position involved creating and maintaining incoming building permit files, receiving payments for permit invoices, issuing permits and scheduling required inspections for each file. The role required a great deal of follow-up, accuracy, and knowledge of the building and zoning bylaws. I was able to learn the requirements of the position in a short time frame due to the Coldwater River atmospheric flood event. I was the main point-of-contact in the office for assisting flood inundated residents with necessary permits for their affected properties as well as information and removal of rapid damage assessment placards. This unforeseen work required understanding, composure, and a supportive ability to serve residents in a prompt yet comfortable environment without adding pressure to an already strained circumstance. This work was gratifying and offered meaningful pride at the end of each workday. Show less
