My achievements included arranging a business trip to the USA for the CEO and COO of Guardian. I researched appropriate American businesses to approach for meetings and made appointments with CEOs and business owners. I put together the itinerary and made the appropriate travel arrangements. I also coordinated the 2012 Centre Managers' Conference for 70 delegates which involved organising accommodation, flights directly with Virgin, leisure activities and speakers.My day to day duties at Guardian were to reconcile credit card statements, petty cash, make stationery orders, book flights and accommodation, typing and other administration tasks - a lot of this was done remotely.

During my time at ipac I enjoyed working in three different departments. My last position was with the portfolio team. The key accountabilities of this role were to provide the programme manager, project managers and business analysts with administrative support , assist with reporting to the Programme Management Office (PMO) and offer general team support.I provided administrative support by co-ordinating a variety of meetings\workshops\steering committees, internally and externally to ipac, assembling appointment material and staff, as well as organising travel and accommodation as required. I assisted with project activities related to business case preparation, client/customer surveys, closure analysis and reporting, and project documentation. I Managed the set up of new starters to projects including internal transfers, relocation of PMs, BAs and contractors. I was responsible for the monitoring and management of portfolio cost centres, processing journals and accruals as well as tracking project expenses. The role required an understanding of the PMO and workstream process so I could pro-actively manage the workstream to required deliverables and timeframes. This involved assisting Project Managers with their monthly reporting requirements such as KPI reports, dashboards, expense reports and spend reports. This ensured the portfolio manager received them in sufficient time to submit to the work stream controller for the overall portfolio report. On project closure I ensured the ipac Portfolio Network directory had a copy of all documents and files for quick and easy access in future use. Please view my resume for more career history.
