What I'm looking for
I’m an administrative and project support professional with 16+ years of experience supporting executive leadership and keeping complex operations running smoothly. I’m known for strong organization, attention to detail, and a steady commitment to operational excellence.
As a Project Administrator / Administrative Assistant at Hammond & Associates Consulting Engineers, I coordinate project deliverables, reports, and communications for engineering teams and management. I manage executive calendars, meetings, travel arrangements, and site visits, and I serve as the primary liaison for clients, vendors, and stakeholders.
I also handle key business operations, including monitoring accounts receivable, budget tracking, and collections activities, along with negotiating vendor contracts and overseeing office operations and facilities. I recruit, onboard, train, and supervise administrative personnel while maintaining compliance records, certifications, insurance documentation, and organized project files.
Before this role, I built retail leadership experience as an Assistant Manager and Copy & Print Center Manager, supervising daily operations, staff scheduling and training, inventory, transactions, and customer service. Earlier, I worked as a Photo Lab Specialist, processing orders and maintaining equipment and laboratory supplies—experience that shaped my focus on quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction.
