As an experienced Office administrator of a construction company, I have extensive experience with processing accounts payable/receivable, new hire processing, payroll
(approx 300 field employees), and working with OSHA representatives. I have developed these skills by working my way up from a receptionist, payroll clerk, and payroll manager to Office Manager from 1989 until the company was closed in 2010. I understand the requirements of working in a small office where one person must have many different responsibilities. I am a dedicated employee and take great pride in always doing the best job possible.
