What I'm looking for

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

I am a dedicated and highly organized administrative professional with over two decades of experience in various roles within church and community organizations. My journey began as a Bank Teller and evolved into significant leadership positions, including directing children's and middle school ministries, where I successfully managed a team of over 90 volunteers and served 120 kids and teens. My proactive approach has allowed me to streamline operations and deliver reliable results in fast-paced environments.

Throughout my career, I have developed and implemented age-appropriate curricula, coordinated large-scale events, and maintained accurate financial records. My experience as an Executive Assistant to six pastors honed my administrative skills, where I managed calendars, coordinated special projects, and ensured smooth communication across various teams. I take pride in my ability to build strong relationships and foster teamwork, which has been instrumental in improving retention rates and enhancing community engagement.
