As the Administrative Assistant, I increased the productivity and morale of the director and team I supported. I accomplished this by taking care of the details before they became problems and by clarifying, documenting, and communicating information that made people's jobs easier. Some of my contributions were:• Managing daily operations of the Minneapolis Sales Office. This included being liaison with corporate departments, outside vendors and the property management office. • Arranging complex travel for multiple directors and processing their expense reports.• Coordinating various types of meetings and events internally and externally, and being the company coordinator for the Western Food Industry Expo in Las Vegas.• Creating and distributing a weekly ad tracker to provide competitor marketing data on major accounts.I was the only team member in the Minneapolis sales office to experience the entire journey, from opening to closing. I was the "constant"​ in an ever changing environment - through three companies, two locations and six managing directors. Major Accomplishments:• Earned the Sara Lee Star Award by leading office relocation and expansion in 2010 from 4,000 to 8,000 sq. ft. Conducted search with realtor to find suitable space. I was the main contact for all activities related to the new office build-out, installation of equipment, and move out from previous location. This required collaboration with multiple internal and external entities, along with a strong attention to detail and follow-up.• Retained ownership of all aspects of the office closure in March 2016. I worked with a liquidator to dismantle and move out entire office contents. Obtained $4000 fee reduction by selling items to various parties. Arranged the removal of all data infrastructure, equipment, and transitioned 11 employees to home offices. Due to my diligence, we avoided additional payment or fees by meeting all the landlord's move out requirements.
