Objective
Polished Administrative Professional
A highly skilled and qualified administrative professional seeks a position with a new or established company that will provide the
opportunity to utilize my professional skills and expertise to become an integral part of a dynamic team.
I offer significant abilities and experience in financial management, research and reporting, project management, payroll
and accounting procedures and team building and supervision. My ability to get along well with others, make adjustments
to meet deadlines, and successfully coordinate in a fast paced environment has contributed to my growth in this field and
my employers’ placing a significant amount of trust in me. My approach to my work goes beyond my job description, as I
am always looking for ways to improve productivity and efficiency while cutting cost. I am adept at negotiating with
vendors and contractors, and my technical skills allow me to develop improvements to business and data management
processes. I am also recognized for my ability to communicate effectively with clients, customers and management.
