About Barbara Penner

My professional background encompasses Executive Assistance, Recruitment, Educator, and Instructional Design. I possess a unique diverse range of skills and experiences. My career journey began in 2013 when I assumed the role of an executive assistant at Med Source Healthcare Services. My tenacity for professional development catapulted my transition into the recruitment sector within our organization. There, I demonstrated remarkable success, particularly in the realm of talent retention. From 2014 to 2016, I upsurged the talent retention rate from 62% to an impressive 87%. I implemented innovative procedures to assess both customer and employee satisfaction rates, which ultimately led to a 30% increase in overall productivity. However, parallel to my passion for recruiting, I have always harbored a profound enthusiasm for education, particularly in nurturing young minds. This passion eventually led me to transition into a teaching career in 2016. Despite the challenges presented in my role as an educator, I found great fulfillment in inspiring my students and pushing them to achieve new milestones in their learning journey. Drawing on a decade of multifaceted professional experiences in Executive Assistance, Recruitment, Education, and Instructional Design, I am confident that I would be an invaluable addition to any high-performing organization. My diverse skill set and deep knowledge that I've garnered from these roles uniquely position me to drive success and contribute effectively to any team I join A quote by Sharon Pearson perfectly encapsulates my approach to professional and personal challenges: “It isn’t the challenge that defines you, it’s what you do with it.”
