About

Through 15 years of office experience, I have earned an excellent reputation for being organized, resourceful, detail oriented, and efficient. I have worked with both large and small teams and have successfully acclimated each time to get the best results from myself and my colleagues. Five years of management experience have taught me to expertly prioritize and adjust quickly to new responsibilities. I am interested in hearing about opportunities where my customer service skills, office expertise, and creativity will be valued and where I can further enhance my skill set.
