What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values organization and communication, where I can contribute to a team and grow professionally.

I am an experienced administrative assistant with a background in higher education and retail. My role at Lamar University involved performing various clerical and creative duties, including data entry, social media management, and professional writing. I take pride in my ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently while maintaining a high standard of work.

Previously, I worked as a sales associate at Leslie’s Pools, where I assisted with logistics and store operations. My experience at Acuren Inspection further honed my administrative skills, where I managed accounts payable, onboarding, and safety training. I am committed to delivering quality service and support in every role I undertake.
