Bio
Olga Dixon
I was Mikayla’s direct supervisor at the MAA for a little over a year. Mikayla expertly and effortlessly filled the role of a Programs Assistant, providing support to several external project teams. Mikayla’s administrative skills are excellent, and her ability to navigate through many competing priorities and juggle multiple projects is unlike any I’ve seen before. She has a wonderful ability to anticipate our professional partner’ needs - it is not uncommon for her to have a task completed even before I had a chance to ask her to work on it. Mikayla is a quick and eager learner who does not shy away from exploring new and challenging areas. For example, she had to learn independently several software platforms that we use for our projects. Despite the fact that some of them are not very user-friendly, she quickly reached mastery with them and became our main office administrator for these products. Mikayla is one of the most optimistic people I’ve worked with. No matter how challenging a project is, she always approaches it with a smile. She is a heart of our department who is always eager to find an occasion to celebrate people around her and every success in their lives – from little professional milestones to major personal anniversaries. It was my absolute pleasure to work with Mikayla and to see her grow into her new role of a Programs Coordinator. I wish her every success in her future endeavors!
