CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF PEST CONTROL ADVISORS, Sacramento, CA 2006 – 2008 Executive Assistant to President/CEO

• I was hired to direct a staff of nine administrative assistants-customer service reps for a Top 100 Pest Control company, and handled health/dental, simple IRA functions for staff of 35. I recruited, interviewed and hired office staff; balanced sales and financials both weekly and monthly. I hired and trained new customer service agents, motivated and monitored staff and dealt with customer service department issues. I helped to build business opportunities by researching potential investment opportunities (real estate, businesses). I also organized the monthly staff meeting, company events and promotions and worked with branch and assistant branch managers with crew functions. .

INTERSERV L.P. (GENERAL CONTRACTOR), Beverly Hills, CA 1998 – 2001 Executive Assistant to Owner (2000 – 2001)

Project Assistant (1998 – 2000)

• I was hired as a Project Assistant, prepared and maintained procedure manuals, transmittal's, and project notes, and monthly reports. I ordered materials for onsite delivery to hotel renovation locations, wrote purchase orders and change orders and kept logs. During this time, I found the bidding department was still using pencil and calculator. I devised an Excel spreadsheet that incorporated all the information they needed

(cost, cost plus 10, etc.) by entering their numbers into one column. It saved quite a bit of work and frustration, and resulted in reducing hours of time spent making bids.

• I was promoted to being the Executive Assistant to the Partners where I made extensive travel arrangements for the Founder, including coordinating travel schedules, reservations for hotel, air and ground travel, maintenance of passport and visas for international travel including written and oral correspondence and in- person trips with consulates for visas as needed. I arranged meetings and conference calls, notifications, room reservations, and catering.. No correspondence left the office without my approval. I also was given special projects, including home catering and entertainment planning, personal errands for owner, including travel arrangement for family, home repair and personal purchases, all personal correspondence, household expenses, and maintaining all personal bank accounts .
