Annie Mcbride is a Office Administrator at Cairn Diagnostics. She possess expertise in student development, student affairs, higher education, event planning, student engagement and 16 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "You know how as a manager, once in a while, you get that diamond-in-the-rough employee? It’s like winning the lottery. Annie is that employee. She has the trifecta: brains, brawn and humility. Brains: Annie is incredibly smart. She’s quick on her feet when she needs to be, but also reserves judgement and mulls things over. She has the end-game in mind. She thinks short- and long-term, simultaneously. Brawn: she does the heavy lifting. The long hours, the pain-staking work that goes into building systems, processes and teams - she goes the distance and she has the grit. Humility: Annie will never brag on herself. She’ll do the bulk of the work and happily share the credit. She is always mindful of her impact on others. She’s aware of the space she takes up (and the space others need) and adjusts accordingly. She can read a room and an individual, to assess what’s needed, always with integrity to benefit the student/customer. Bottom line: Annie shows up. Even when it’s painful and not convenient for her, she’s committed and driven. She’s empathetic and kind. She’s smart and savvy. I was lucky to find and hire Annie in 2012, and now I am even luckier to call her my friend.", "I had the pleasure of having Annie as a colleague at Marymount California University. As a new employee who was on-boarded during a busy season, Annie made me feel welcomed. She was available to answer questions and offered her support. I can honestly say Annie is one of the few people I admire. She can build strong relationships with colleagues and students. All of the students that worked with Annie has a great deal of respect for her and felt comfortable coming to her for assistance. She has strong leadership skills and a passion for advocacy and diversity. Annie makes a possible and lasting impact on everyone she meets! She makes a positive impact.", and "I highly recommend Annie! She played a huge role during my senior year at Marymount California University (MCU) and quickly became the mentor I did not know I needed. As a first generation Latina navigating higher academia, Annie supported me in a way that empowered me to continue striving for more opportunities. She listens first (wow, is she a great listener) then finds ways to address student needs. Through weekly staff meetings and personal conversations, she made space for me and my peers to gain the skills we need(ed) to become competitive professionals. At the time, that was all I needed to thrive. Although we no longer communicate the way we did when we lived in the same time zone, I know I can reach out for advice when necessary. To this day, Annie checks in with me and reminds me she is a lifetime supporter. Just like day 1, she recognizes my potential and always finds ways to reaffirm why I am capable of succeeding. Proving just how much she cares for her students’ growth and development."
