What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my organizational skills in a supportive environment, with opportunities for growth and development.

I am an enthusiastic administrative assistant with experience supporting a professor in a remote capacity. My role involved scheduling discussions, editing PowerPoint presentations, and creating timelines for various academic tasks. I thrive in collaborative environments and take pride in my ability to manage multiple responsibilities efficiently.

Previously, I worked as a receptionist, where I honed my skills in customer service and data management. My experience in the hospitality industry as a bar lady and waitress further developed my organizational skills and attention to detail. I am committed to continuous learning and eager to contribute positively to any team.
