Skills
I'm offering
Having mainly worked as a PA throughout my life, and for a broad range of companies, my experience of the working practices and cultures of different geographical regions and both the private and public sector is extensive. I have accumulated strong skills through dealing with corporate clients at high level, members of government, among many others. Upon completion of my Film Studies with English Literature degree as a mature student in 2006, I gained transferable skills which only enhanced my abilities further. So whilst I am confident in my PA, administrative, and secretarial abilities, and have excellent people skills, I have found my true passion to be in writing, editing and proofreading; I have completed a novel and written various blog posts, short stories and poems. I have also worked as an editor and proofreader on a voluntary basis. As a person I am honest and positive in my approach.

Senior School Office Secretary
Highgate School.
In my role at Highgate School I implemented and administrated the sanctions and rewards functions for the Senior School, whilst facilitating the smooth running of the behavioural system. I organised ad hoc whole school mail outs, maintained the school filing system both online and paper-based, administrated parents evenings and similar. I managed the schedule of several Heads of Departments within the school and carried out various duties as required. On completing my time at the school, the administrative function was running more smoothly and effectively due to the ideas for streamlining processes that I brought to the position, and this was relayed to the Bursar by Senior Staff. I was informed by the Bursar that they would welcome me back should I seek permanent employment again at a future date.
