What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an administrative position where I can support front-desk operations, scheduling, and customer inquiries, while keeping records organized and using my Excel, bookkeeping, and office-management skills to improve efficiency.

I’m a dedicated administrative candidate who loves making my employers’ lives easier. In my current role as an Office Administrative Assistant, I manage front desk operations, handle incoming calls, resolve customer inquiries, and keep office records organized and up-to-date.

Across my experience as a Secretary at a church and with the Marion County Sheriff's Office, I’ve handled confidential files, supported office management, assisted with budget data gathering, and created Excel spreadsheets to track expenses and progress. I bring strong clerical and bookkeeping capabilities—Accounts receivable/payable, account reconciliation, and QuickBooks—plus reliable communication, data entry, filing, and scheduling to help teams work more efficiently.
