Amanda Beecher
@amandabeecher
Administrative and operations professional who keeps events, teams, and reporting running smoothly with clear communication.
What I'm looking for
I’m an organized, self-motivated professional who consistently follows through on responsibilities with strong interpersonal and communication skills. As a Front of House Supervisor, I supervised and scheduled a staff of 12 in Food & Beverage, led weekly meetings for accountability, and handled recruiting, hiring, and training alongside many HR responsibilities.
I bring hands-on customer service and operational experience across banking and hospitality. As a Commerce Bank Teller, I managed accurate transactions, handled complex tasks like preparing cashier’s checks and exchanging foreign currency, and even received a Theft Prevention Award for saving a customer over $10,000. In catering and operations roles, I managed event set-up, breakdown, delivery, executed the Catertrax program, created budgets, and coordinated with clients and outside vendors to meet expectations.
More recently, I’ve focused on administrative leadership through reporting, scheduling, and confidentiality. At Stowers Institute for Medical Research and in the school district, I ran daily/weekly/monthly reports, ordered supplies, coordinated meetings, set appointments for department heads, and supported sensitive operations with privacy in mind. I also managed broad communication channels—including parent communication and social media—handled enrollment and registration, generated attendance reports, and tracked financial transactions accurately.
