Summary
I am a dynamic administrative professional that has received a great education in my last decade running all administrative operations for a multi-million dollar construction company with little to no training, finding inefficiencies and incorporating new ways to streamline productivity with new technologies. I am a self motivator who has little to no oversight on a daily basis and understands the importance of staying on task to keep the company running smoothly. As an alumni , and previous employee of Monty Tech I would be honored to step back through the doors and work at an institution that I truly love and believe in! I'm a friendly and pleasant addition to any team that is always willing to help out and go the extra mile. My wide range of work experience across different fields has molded me into a well rounded business professional with the ability to approach and solve problems from all different points of view. There is no challenge I will ever back down from.
