Personal Statement:

Ms. MJ’s father instilled her values: be honest, always work hard and do my best, and above all, give back to family, friends and community. As a Personal Assistant, Ms. MJ can live up to all of these. She loves to be continually challenged and feel like Ms. MJ is making a positive contribution to her Principal’s life and to her community.

Having worked in marketing for 27 years, her Administrative skills are excellent. I managed many types of outside vendors, while managing the overall project as well. A key part of her work has always been research, tracking down information and finding resources. Ms. MJ’s keys to success are being detailed, organized and multi-tasking. With her Western style of service, she has a pioneering spirit and can make things happen for her Principal, according to each individualistic perspective. Combine that with Ms. MJ’s Midwestern high work ethics and no-nonsense approach, she is a very effective Personal Assistant.
