I'm an administrative professional with over eight years experience in fast-paced, demanding office and project management environments. A diligent and intelligent worker, I welcome new challenges and finding ways to overcome them.
I've always taken active roles in office settings, including but not limited to: supervising staff and interns, coordinating programs and special projects, enhancing data systems, preparing correspondence, scheduling office meetings, managing accounting protocols, and event planning.
In addition to my skills, I am also very friendly, outgoing, and always eager to take on new projects and tasks. The best compliment I've recently received from a supervisor was this:
"Sarah impressed me with her resourcefulness, intelligence, creativity, sense of humor, patience, and ability to keep track of many small details while never losing sight of the whole picture. Her easy rapport with program staff and clients, her willingness to pitch in with any project, the quality of her work and her motivation made her an excellent addition to our team."
Currently I'm looking for work in San Francisco in various industries of interest.
