What I'm looking for
As a Travel and Office Coordinator at Hyak Motorsports, I excel in managing travel arrangements for a NASCAR cup team, ensuring seamless logistics for flights, rental cars, and hotels. My role also involves coding and entering invoices into QuickBooks, managing PTO calendars, and overseeing time clocks for hourly employees. I take pride in handling all guest passes and fan mail for our driver, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., while also managing licensing and credentialing for the entire team.
Previously, I taught 8th grade Language Arts at Rowan Salisbury Schools, where I developed and executed lesson plans for multiple classes of students. My experience as an educator has honed my organizational and communication skills, allowing me to effectively manage classroom dynamics and foster a positive learning environment. Additionally, I owned and operated a nail salon for over 14 years, where I was responsible for hiring, inventory management, and overall business operations.
