Executive Assistant To Chief Executive Officer

• Jul 2017 - Oct 2020

Executive Assistant to the CEO- Sheltering Arms has more than 50 program sites providing an array of children and family services. I assisted both the CEO and her Senior Executive team in all day-to-day operations of the company, which employs more than 1,000 staff. I worked here for many years and earned great respect, becoming the right hand of the Executive Team. I was involved in all aspects of administrative work from high-pressure scheduling with large numbers of attendees, to preparing all staff emails to be sent out by the CEO, to trouble shooting issues at a moments notice. My work was often sensitive and confidential, being heavily involved in preparing materials and communications for the Board of Directors or Government officials. I also served as the VJ or host of all virtual events when the company went remote during the height of the COVID epidemic, garnering a positive recognition amongst my peers for leading fun and interesting virtual events for hundreds of staff on Zoom. I left this job having made the position into something more than it was previously, and I pride myself on my close involvement with the work of the company and the respect I earned from the CEO and other executives.
