My desire is to find a position in which I can bring my many skills to the table with a driven focus to better your company. I have the ability to master new concepts and ideas without hesitation in approaching unfamiliar situations. I possess the ability to work autonomously, analyzing and processing information/instructions then making things happen and meeting deadlines. I work well in a team, I’m self-motivated, I’m a critical thinker, flexible, positive, patient, kind, respectful, dependable service with a smile and more. This is a plus in a fast paced, multi-tasked environment where time management, communication and organizational skills matter the most. My eye for detail, spelling and grammar is a plus. I’ve had 13+ years of working and managing business remotely from anywhere. I dress professionally as needed. I display a professional persona but I am personable and can mingle with all levels of customers, staff and clients. I have a current passport and have business travel experience.
