With over 25 years of project coordination, bookkeeping and executive-level administrative assistant experience, I feel confident I can be an asset to any company looking for a motivated, hardworking team member. I am currently working at an aquatic center but before that I was with BSCF as an interim Program Coordinator and loved working in philanthropy. For BrightView Landscape Development I enjoyed being involved in the day-to-day activities associated with managing multiple landscape development projects. At Suma Landscaping, my typical work day focused on coordinating landscape projects for the Vice President & Landscape Maintenance Manager as well as assisting in managing the field crews. I am also currently the remote bookkeeper for Alameda Ballet Academy & West Alameda Business Association in Alameda CA. I have strong organizational and interpersonal skills and am proficient with Mac, PC, Microsoft Office & Programs, QuickBooks, Procore, Textura, E1, CMiC, Adobe Pro, Asana, Fluxx, SalesForce Lightening, Mail Chimp, Zoom, Google Suite/Docs/Sheets/Calendar along with most Social Media Platforms.
