What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values communication and offers opportunities for growth.

I am an experienced receptionist and administrative professional with a strong background in customer service and communication. Over the years, I have honed my skills in managing busy phone lines, directing calls, and providing exceptional support to both customers and colleagues. My ability to effectively compile information and prepare reports has been a key asset in my roles, ensuring that all tasks are completed efficiently and accurately.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various capacities, including as a Classified Assistant/Advertising Representative and a Secretary/Advertising Clerk. In these roles, I successfully managed advertisement placements and maintained strong relationships with clients. Currently, I serve as a Front Office Receptionist at Mountain Oaks School, where I assist administrators, teachers, and students, while also managing the front office operations. My commitment to excellence and ability to work well under pressure have consistently contributed to the success of my teams.
