Jade Murray

I'm originally from South Africa, my husband and I moved to Canada at the end of 2020. We were living in Peace River for 2 years before moving down to Calgary. I studied a Bsc Zoology and Genetics degree, but have found myself drawn more to administrative jobs. I am very detail orientated and love a challenge. I am a quick learner and am able to work both independently or as part of a team. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, home diy projects, building puzzles and spending time with my family.
