Administrative duties and front desk coverage. Assisted the Community development manager with Business Volunteers for the Arts program controls and workshop/training/board meeting collaterals production.

I was a personal assistant and front desk lady. It was fun and I enjoyed my time here, although I wasn't the right fit. I am a go getter and not the type to sit back and let things fall as they may. I discovered inconsistencies in accounting and record keeping practices. From my time in various finance and accounting positions I alerted my superiors, my suggestions were not exactly taken into consideration. To avoid verbal abuse, I refused a managerial reassignment and I was promptly fired. I am ok with that and went on to run my own company ethically and responsibly, and make way more than $12/hr.

Worked with government compliance departments to deliver programs and millions of records from the insurance companies of Assurant Specialty Property, American Reliable Insurance Co. and associated subsidiaries to comply with legal reporting requirements to agencies such as DMV's, FEMA, Homeland Security, NOAA, and ICE, etc. for all 50 states, mashups of over 27 different databases, in over 6 different programming languages. Some going back to the 1960's and the founding of the company.Special projects included forensic database structural integrity studies liaising with the IT manager and software engineers, liaison to the compliance department. Worked closely developing valuation models for M&A due diligence and managed the data dump site running defense and fixing security and software issues under the guidance of the VP of Actuarial for Assurant Specialty Property.Adept at handling high level executives and their handlers with ease and consistency, I treat everyone the same, with the respect and courtesy that I would want to experience myself, even if I were only a low paid personal assistant to the executive assistant. Nice goes a long way. Although Assurant wasn't the right fit, I learned valuable lessons in how to deal with people and be nice and get my work done on time, and if I couldn't I respectfully let people know. They were cool about it and extensions are not only for getting out of final exams in University.
