WORK EXPERIENCE

Vice President/Paralegal/Executive Assistant to the President/OREO Property Manager/Collection Agent Summerville National Bank Summerville, SC, USA From Jan 1995 to Jan 2020 I worked at a local home town Bank. I participated in weekly past due meetings. I inspected all property owned by the Bank which was previously held as collateral, both residential and commercial real estate, on a loan and that subsequently defaulted. I did weekly inspections on each property to make sure that they were in good and marketable condition. I hired attorneys to handle any litigation brought by the Bank, or in defense of litigation brought against the Bank. I assigned real estate agents to market the properties and monitored their progress. I handled personal and executive matters for the

bank's President and kept him up-to-date on all legal matters, and with regard to the OREO properties. I worked on customer's accounts, from the creditor's point of view, who had filed Bankruptcy. I did calendar and email management. I handled appointment scheduling, travel arrangements, and logistics for the President. I prepared reports, memoranda, and presentations for the Board Meetings and took minutes. I reserved conference rooms, scheduled presentations, confirmed attendance, prepared agendas, and compiled/distributed meeting minutes. Office Manager/Paralegal Kinard & Kinard, Attorneys at Law Charleston, SC, USA From Jan 1994 to Jan 1995

My initial duties were to act as a Personal Assistant to Susan Kinard. My initial instructions were to get the office up and running. The office had been closed for a number of years because Susan was finishing her last year of law school and her husband, Bobby, was completing his last year of his term as Mayor of North Charleston. I went through all of their old client files to determine which ones needed to be stored off-site and which ones needed to be stored in the office. I hired a Receptionist. When the Kinards returned to work at the office I worked in my capacity as office manager and paralegal for both of them. I handled all of the bookkeeping for the office and supervised personnel. The practice worked mainly on domestic and criminal law. I drafted correspondence, pleadings and agreements and kept up with the Kinards' calendars. Manager of the Legal Department/Paralegal/Office Manager CNS Federal Credit Union & Richard A. Steadman, Jr., Attorney at Law Charleston, SC, USA From Jan 1991 to Jan 1994 In addition to my other duties as Paralegal and Personal Administrative Assistant to Attorney, Richard A. Steadman, Jr. I worked in my capacity as Office Manager. I handled all accounting for Mr. Steadman's personal account, business account, escrow accounts and title insurance company account. I did all of the account receivables/payables and I did the payroll. I was signatory on all accounts. I handled all of his private practice's billing for his time and for mine. I worked on old collection accounts for the Credit Union that had defaulted on their loans or credit cards, and received $10k back for the Credit Union on what had been essentially written-off bad debt. I represented the Credit Union in person at Bankruptcy Court and handled bankruptcy matters on behalf of the Credit Union. I did title searches for properties involved in real estate closings, foreclosures, and collection matters. I drafted and completed an Office Manual and a Employee Handbook. I managed the executive's calendar, did travel arrangements, and meeting logistics. I represented the Executive by attending meetings in the absence of, and serving as the Executive's spokesperson. I performed a diverse range of administrative tasks. I read, researched, composed, and routed correspondence (memos, letters, and reports), addressed internal/external communications and brought critical issues to the Executive's attention and took proactive measures to keep the office running smoothly. I predicted the needs of the Executive before he needed something. Legal Administrative/Personal Assistant Wyckoff & Norfleet, Attorneys at Law Charleston, SC From Jan 1990 to Jan 1991

I handled Mr. Norfleet's personal and executive matters including his calendar. I drafted correspondence, pleadings and agreements. I participated in the preparation of Trial Notebooks and sat in the second chair, next to Mr. Norfleet, and assisted him during the same. I spent much of my time transcribing Mr. Norfleet's dictation. I had extensive contact with clients both in person and on the phone. I kept all of his current files organized and up-to-date. I opened and closed files using the procedures necessary for both.

Legal/Personal Secretary/Post Real Estate Closing Processor Burkett, Bargmann & Sterba, Attorneys at Law Summerville, SC From Jan 1986 to Jan 1989

I was Personal Secretary to Mr. Bargmann, who is now deceased. I handled all of his personal and business correspondence and mail. I managed Mr. Bargmann's calendar and telephone calls. I was then promoted from within to the position of Post Real Estate Closing Processor where I handled all of the post closing work. I

dispersed and reconciled the escrow account. I prepared and sent the lender the loan package. I also kept the client's file open until all post closing matters were resolved and I could close the file.
