I served as the lead assistant to the CIO Team (CIO, deputy CIO, and associate CIOs) providing routine and recurring support for key functions of the office including coordination of schedules, meetings, documents, and personnel.

As the Support Supervisor, I have completed my work with integrity and excellence while developing a diverse range of administrative skills and learning the unique processes within the university. I’ve worn many hats – serving as a personnel manager, purchaser, travel planner, staff and student liaison, assistant to the chair, and public relations coordinator, in a fast paced, exciting environment. In these roles, I’ve had to exercise diplomacy and discretion, knowing when to speak gently and when to be assertive to hold people accountable. I am comfortable navigating a boardroom with university leadership, hosting a town hall session with students,and with picking up the phone to expedite tasks in a bureaucratic organization.My strengths:• Strong background in all aspects of office management, from scheduling meetings and coordinatingtravel to overseeing budget and accounting functions.• Demonstrated knowledge of project management concepts not only through direct experience but also through on-going leadership and organizational management courses through University of Illinois.• Knowledge of computer operations including all Microsoft Office applications (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Project) and U of A software systems (PeopleAdmin7, R25, Basis, UAConnect).I have experience supervising a staff of both clerical workers and work-studies; I’ve received compliments both from those I manage and the department’s directors regarding my motivational leadership. I’m also familiar with the U of A’s hiring process, including development of position descriptions, advertisements, search procedures, diversity issues, and hiring.

The SLPT is a test that measures speaking skills of international students applying for an assistantship during a 15-minute interaction. Examinees prepare a 10-minute oral presentation as if they were teaching a freshman class or lab. A topic approved by the department will be sent to the examinee’s email address the day before the scheduled exam. Initially, examinees spend a few minutes informally talking with the evaluators about their background, field of study, and home country. This informal discussion will be general in nature and no prior preparation will be necessary. Next, students will be asked to deliver the 10-minute presentation as if they were teaching. The SLPT evaluators assess the examinee's overall comprehensibility by indicating "pass" or "not pass"
