Summary

I have worked in Dist-11 as a clerical Admin Asst since 2000. I have run a handful of Elem School offices in those 25 years. Money collection, acct, calendar of events. Answered phone, ordering supplies, payroll, caring for kids in the health room and much more. Able to prioritize things from most important to least important.

My super power is working with people. I love the challenge of turning a situation from bad to good, when a person is upset or feeling wronged. I am able to turn this situation around to a positive ending ...Most of the time.
