Because my job was to 'create time' for my boss, I adapted to a wide range of roles and had the opportunity to learn many new skills. I learned video recording and editing to help build an online Summit that reached over 100,000 people. I was responsible for proofreading all websites, course materials and email broadcasts to a 75,000 member list. I researched the latest articles and scientific studies on topics pertinent to the company. I served as project manager and provided outstanding customer service to students and clients. And I was trusted with all the minutiae of running a business - scheduling, travel arrangements, office management.

I regularly updated and maintained the Cornell's Jewelers award-winning website, keeping the content relevant and as interesting as possible within the constraints of the technology. I managed the social media, represented the company at various community fundraisers and events, and handled donation requests from local charities.

From the initial contact to the final presentation, I was responsible for providing impeccable customer service and ensuring complete satisfaction with the product. I managed the all of the details for custom wedding cakes and desserts for more than 100 couples each year, talking them through the design process, tracking all payments, changes and finishing touches and coordinating with other vendors and the venues. I built excellent working relationships with many of the best event planners, banquet managers and florists in the area.

While homeschooling my two daughters and working part time, I was also teaching 2-4 classes each week for other homeschool students as part of two education cooperatives. Researching curriculum, planning and teaching lessons and assigning, grading and tracking homework and exams for 20-30 students while assuming full responsibility for my children's education sharpened my multi-tasking and organizational skills!

As part of a larger school, I ran a small non-profit offering ballroom dance classes, specialized dance classes, expressive movement workshops and adult ballet. I also had the joy of mentoring a select group of teen girls.

Until my first daughter was born, I provided administrative support for two commercial real estate brokers. I researched and prepared new market studies for Starbucks, Petco, Kinko's, Marriott and other clients, long before the internet made it easy! I drafted and edited letters of intent, contracts and other documents. I managed scheduling and travel arrangements, and processed expense reports. I learned that I enjoy working in a small office, where I can understand the nuances of the job and begin to anticipate the needs of my superiors before being asked.
