About
I have over 20 years of Administrative Support experience, most of that in Adminstrative Assistant positions. I’ve worked mainly for non-profit organizations but have worked for some multinational corporations, as well.
I enjoy being support to those with entrepreneurial dreams and once taught (on a volunteer basis) a class on making business dreams a reality.
I’ve done everything from writing resumes to writing business plans. I’ve put together marketing campaigns. I’ve worked in Public Relations. I’ve created PowerPoint presentations used at an annual conference. I’ve even assisted with research and writing for a computer game for an independent game developer. And, of course, I’ve created countless voicemail messages to put the best foot forward for companies when no one was there to answer the phone live.
So, what’s “Adminderella”? I can’t say for certain that I coined the term, but to me, Adminderella is a blending of “Admin” and “Cinderella”. Why Cinderella? Well, if you know the fairy tale, you’ll remember that Cinderella did all of the things to keep things running that other people didn’t want to do. And, in my experience, Administrative Assistants are the folks who keep an organization going by doing all those things that don’t seem to fit in anyone else’s job description.
Adminderella has stricken the phrase “but that’s not my job…” from her vocabulary. And in my life as Adminderella, I have not only been office support but have done medication administration, cooked lunch for a residential facility and made some excellent espresso.
If you’re wondering what Adminderella can do for you, think along the lines of office support. If you’re an entrepreneur, there may be certain tasks you just can’t keep up with (billing, collections, brochures, press releases). Perhaps there are administrative tasks that take you away from your creative work that you’d like someone else to take over. Or maybe you just need a voice for your voicemail system
Adminderella to the rescue!
