Administrative Assistance

ABOUT

Every role I’ve had (since I left the fast food industry in 2001) has required strong administrative skills, and thankfully it’s an area that I excel in. Creating order out of chaos is a passion. Do I love admin per se? No. But I love organisation, I love making up systems that relieve stress and help individuals feel in control and teams feel like they can work collaboratively and remove unnecessary confusion and bottlenecks.

    Brain Dump

    You let me know all the things you don’t like, don’t know how to do, need help with, don’t have time for etcetera etcetera.

    The Plan

    I make up a plan, or some plan options that focus on most urgent, biggest impact and sustainable systems

    Adapt as Needed

    Every project is different. I’ll stay flexible and responsive to make sure the process fits you—and is taking away stress , not adding to it!

    Order from Chaos

    Your new admin processes are implemented, I can either keep taking on work, or hand it back over to you to carry on the good work!

Experience

I have worked in ministry, start-ups, non-for-profit, profit, events, large and small corporations. I also have worked as an individual, and as part of a team - even as a remote member of teams from a different country. I’m a project manager, and event coordinator and also a photographer if you happen to need that as well.
