What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my administrative skills in a supportive educational environment, with opportunities for professional growth and development.

I am an experienced education professional with a strong background in administrative support and coordination within the NYC Department of Education. Currently, I serve as a Secretary to the Office of Special Education, where I provide confidential secretarial services and manage sensitive student issues. My role involves maintaining the administrator's calendar, organizing extensive confidential files, and compiling reports for the Special Education Department. I pride myself on my ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and professionalism.

Previously, I worked as a Payroll Secretary, where I maintained payroll information and resolved discrepancies, ensuring confidentiality and compliance with policies. My experience also includes serving as an Assistant Program Director at United Activities Unlimited, where I led a team of Activity Specialists and engaged with students and parents to create a supportive environment. My diverse roles have equipped me with strong organizational and communication skills, making me a valuable asset in any educational setting.
