Dear Sir / Madam
I’m a Aboriginal “Status Indian” of the Mi’kmaq 1st
nation from Cape Breton N.S currently living off-reserve in
Mississauga for the last30 years. My mother is a residential school survivor,and I get my “strength” directly from her
teachings. I’m recently laid off after 18 years of service from NCR Canada Ltd, a 100 year old multinational IT/TECH
provider and at one time the world’s 2nd
largest computer company 2nd
only to IBM. Where I developed procedures
for and was team lead on the National Service call centre “Helpdesk” for all contracted helpdesk services sold by
NCR. I was one of the first 2 people hired in Canada in 1995 to startup the helpdesk in Canada and remained there
until I was Laid-off in 2009
I’m actively seeking a new path to journey. I’ve made a successful career in both IT and business by merging my
Aboriginal culture & teachings with Western culture & education to develop a unique perspective in both my business
and personal life.
My extensive technical training and knowledge, - encompassing over 20 years of IT / Desktop / Laptop / Server /
Technical Support / Sales and documentation in the Helpdesk & Tech Support services - would make me an ideal
candidate for your organization.
My overall experiences include both B2B and customer facing within the Retail “Point of
Sale” and Financial Services “ATM Banking machine” channels. I have championed many successful special
projects and tasks in both a lead and participant role as well. I was actively involved in the first successful
implementation and roll out of SAP in a retail POS environment in Canada for a major Ontario retailer, Y2K
conversion projects, etc….
I function well in high stress environments. I’m capable of working on multiple tasks while maintaining the ability to
rapidly absorb information in real-time, analyze it and develop strategies for positive result in each task. I’m
completely at ease working in both office and virtual settings and I have the proven disciplin e to be productive in a
virtual home office setting for an extended period of time. I’m used to being on-call and working a rotating shift
schedule as a requirement of the support delivery channel.
Professionally, I have extensive and comprehensive Technical, Management and Customer Service experience as
listed on my CV. Equally important I bring excellent documentation, communication and listening skills and bring
significant management and leadership training and experience which may be of benefit to your organization.
I was singularly responsible for creating the majority of the Helpdesk documentation and training of new team
members while I was one of the 2 team leads at NCR, While at NCR I was one of 2 individuals selected by upper
management to start up the Canadian Helpdesk Operations, in 1995, where I remained as a Team Lead and
Knowledge Champion for all Retail Helpdesk SLA’s until I was laid off in a mass lay-off in 2009 after the recession
devastated NCR’s business. I help Build the helpdesk from a staff of 2 in 1995 to over 150 in 2009, were we support
every major fastfood restaurant across Canada, CARA house brands, MacDonald’s, Burger king, The Beer Store…
we were called ourselves the “Beer and Burger Helpdesk”
At SkyCharter; I made the transition from Aircraft Refueler to Executive Assistantand Manager of Ground Operations
and Facilities, in 3 months. I was singularly responsible for all staffing and scheduling requirements, of 16 ramp
agents, to operate a 7x24 FBO Facility at Toronto Pearson’s Airport (CYYZ) general aviation ramp. I had direct face
to face interactions with very exclusive and demanding clientele flying in from all around the world. I was responsible
for the safe movement of their multimillion dollar aircraft while providing them and their flight crew with “red carpet”
service while they visited at SkyCharter’s FBO. I was responsible for maintaining the safe operation of SkyCharter
private Bulk Fuel storage farm, with capacity for 100,000 litres of jet and Avgas. I had to ensure the fuel meet all
Transport Canada minimum fuel standards on a daily basis ensuring the safe operation of SkyCharter’s fleet of
aircraft and, any aircraft that purchased fuel from SkyCharter. This was a very serious responsibility with very tragi c
outcomes should had I ever made a mistake; it had to be 100% perfect all the time, no deviation, no exceptions. I
believe this is where my drive for perfection comes from.
My Personal experiences I’ve had are truly unique to me, and have definitely had an major impact on both my
personality, my perspective, and my journey in life which you will not find in any other candidate you will interview. I
say that with confidence…not arrogance. I’ll be brief but allow me to qualify that statement
A little bit about me…
I’m separated, with 3 grown children. My youngest has an extremely rare genetic disorder called “COSTELLO
SYNDROME” less than 500 cases worldwide. This required me to learn a forced medical education to do such things

as trachea tube changes, Feed tube care, stoma care, perform IV injections, and become CPR qualified before I
could even bring her home from the hospital. I lived with nurses in my home 24 hrs a day for 3 years. All the while I
was able to maintain a successful professional career, raise 2 other children while tending to a; “Medically Fragile &
TechnologicallyDepend Child” constant 24 hr medial demands when she was younger. I had to become an expert
negotiator when dealing with all levels of the government up and including the Minister of Health for Ontario who I
had a private sitting with, in order to get the resources allocated to my family in order to take care of our unique
situation. Thankfully she has been in remission for nearly a decade now and I can say with great pride that my
greatest life accomplishment is seeing her Happy & thriving today as a young adult. My Aboriginal teachings and
Western education have combined to help me survive this and all the challenges I faced.
I perform volunteer work: for recently diagnosed families ofchildren with Costello Syndrome which are referred to me
thru Sick kid’s hospital in Toronto, I act as a family advocate assisting families negotiate the complexities of dealing
with the government and medical community when seeking care for their child and I’m currently writing a book. For
hobbies I’m active in aviation and previously I Co-built a 2 person advanced ultra light airplane from a kit over a
period of 3 years which successfully flew.
These Life experiences have forever changed the person I was, thankfully I have evolved into a much better human
being,and have incorporate manyof the skills I learned while dealing with my daughter illness into my professional
life, becoming a much more effective professional.
I’m available for an immediate start date. I’m available for travel and would consider possible relocation under the
right conditions. In particular back to Cape Breton. I know I could integrate my work and life experience into a new
career with your company whether it is large or small.
I would like to discuss this and ANY position you feel may utilize my training and experience.
Thank you for taking the time consider myapplication and review my resume and cover letter, I look forward to future
communications from you to discuss your companies opportunity further.
Welalin (Means - Thank you - in my Mi’kmaq language)
