Summary
Being part of a family business for 12 years before moving to the USA helped me build my accounts management skills, accounts payable and receivable side of the company, managing the business, coping under pressure, and taking control of difficult situations. Customer service was one of the main focuses of our company. I have experience working appointment-based schedules and maintaining accurate records as a personal assistant. While working in London Uk it was a very big part of my daily tasks to book meetings, flights, and accommodation. I am a hardworking and reliable individual skilled at working effectively, unsupervised, and quickly mastering new skills. I understand that honesty, respect, and trust are essential in working with a team.
