What I'm looking for
I am an administrative assistant with over 10 years supporting educational institutions and businesses in clerical, customer-service, and office operations. I have strong experience in document management, confidential records handling, calendar coordination, and day-to-day front-desk operations, and I consistently deliver accurate data entry and timely reporting.
