With over 18 years of administrative assistant experience, including great customer service skills and Microsoft Office software proficiency, my greatest accomplishment is my ability to work extremely well with people and the personal joy I get from going above and beyond to help in every way I can! My peers and colleagues will tell you that I not only possess a great deal of creativity and ingenuity when it comes to tracking down just the right piece of information for them, but also my impassioned "Can-Do" attitude and engaging warmth and demeanor with which I interact and relate to everyone. Having worked most recently for 11 1/2 years in a high profile administrative position for a Federal Government National Laboratory, my additional talents and competencies include organization and planning skills, excellent oral and written communication, data research, collection, and management, attention to detail, and out-of-the-box problem solving capabilities. I'm also very competent at managing Outlook calendaring that includes complex meeting schedules requiring daily triage and de-conflicting, email inbox triage, meeting and video-conference set-up and arrangements, complex travel arrangements and expense reporting. Because of the nature and level of my administrative position at the National Laboratory, I have developed strong email and telephone communication skills with not only colleagues, staff, and management, but also with high level government officials and their executive assistants. Additionally, I possess an extremely high level of integrity and commitment to confidentiality at all levels with clients, customers, and my assignments. * My goal as a new Guru Freelancer is to perform each assignment with excellence and commitment for each of my employers and achieve a top rating through those efforts.
