LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK

​​

​ALL BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE

Having been an Executive Assistant so long, I can tackle just about any type of documentation you may need. I am proficient in the Microsoft 365 products (formerly Microsoft Office), am known for my creative flair, and operate with a sense of urgency and precision.

​

PRESENTATIONS

I am known for designing beautifully branded and creative PowerPoint presentations. My experience with presentations have included the following:

​

• Detailed and lengthy presentations that run on a continuous loop throughout the evening program at large events.

• Professional presentations and slides for business meetings and seminars.

• 90-minute presentations that I have created for my own library presentations throughout the Chicago area.

• Instructional 2-hour presentations designed and created for teaching class to online design students.

EVENT PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT

For 8 years, I planned large events for a non-profit that included anniversary luncheons for 1,000+ attendees and large annual golf outings that featured a large banquet dinner, program, silent auction, and raffle. Planning these golf outings entailed tracking registration (including day of event); creating marketing materials (save-the-date, invitations, programs, signage, and other materials); securing hole sponsors, as well as auction, raffle, and prize items, creating large PowerPoint presentation; and managing the event the day of. There is a lot of interaction involved with company staff, venue staff, and attendees and donors for the event, so it is important your point-of-contact is personable and professional.

 

ORGANIZATION -- CALENDAR AND INBOX MANAGEMENT

• Organize, read, write, and schedule emails.

• Create folders to allow you to find any email easily and operate more functionally.

• Create auto-responses.

• Schedule appointments for clients/customers, billing, dates, events, and so on.

• Create appointment reminders.

• Additional needs you may have to stay organized and save time.

 

CLIENT/CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION AND VENDOR MANAGEMENT

I am a personable, articulate communicator and collaborator. This is important in order to build and maintain business relationships. I provide diligent follow-up and respond to general inquiries or complaints.
