Harmanjot Kaur – Administrator

Biography

I have been working with Oak Tree Therapy Since May 2021. I was raised in India and moved to Canada as an International Student in 2019. I graduated with a certificate in the Business Admin Assistant program.

My Role

I am a friendly face at the front desk with a warm greeting when you arrive, answering your questions, processing your payments, booking consultation appointments, and managing some of the administration duties such as preparing documents and applying for funding.

I love to interact with patients by making them feel comfortable and welcomed and I am very happy to be a part of such an amazing organization.
