About Me

Dedicated and skillful Executive Assistant with extensive experience in coordination, planning, and support of daily operational administrative functions seeking a fast-paced environment to contribute my skills.
************************************************************

I am very outgoing, friendly, very even keeled and personable. I am efficicent in my work duties, need little if any supervision and take direction well. I am very neutral, and easy to approach and talk to. Being ex-military I am very well at ease in a extreme work environment and handle stress well. I'm nurturing and kind...and love being on display! Front office receptionist, executive asst, anything that puts me outfront..I gravitate too. I am a lyrical poetress and currently working on the 5year anniversary documentary about hurricane KATRINA.I would be PERFECT for a very busy executive who needs ANOTHER hand. I am very observant, and always thinking how to make the job easier, lighter, or just better. I am a team player and work well with others..

READING. I adore books, Poe, Hemingway,Dickinson, Keats,Orwell, NikkiGiovanni, Angelou, Shakespeare..in my spare time I can be found on sundays teaching sunday school and reading classes. I am abit neaurotic in this regards-reading- in that I read 3-4books at a time! Also, the reward of teaching a child/adult to read is immense and gratifys the soul....
