Overview
I am a dedicated and technically skilled professional with a versatile skillset developed through experience as a clerk,
secretary, office manager, legal secretary, and manager. My steady increase in responsibilities has culminated in me currently
supervising a team of dedicated legal administrative assistants in the Northern California offices of Bingham McCutchen.
My strengths include strong communications, interpersonal and customer service skills, and the ability to interact effectively
with all levels of management and staff. I also excel in resolving challenges with innovative solutions, systems and process
improvement, customer satisfaction (both external and internal) and improving the organization's bottom line.
