I Corinthians 12:28
And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues.

I chose the Administrative Assistant profession because it is my passion and I am gifted to help. My experience is in supporting and providing exceptional customer service. I've worked for companies that were the cream of the crop in their industry and in order for them to maintain their rank, they over-emphasized the importance of customer satisfaction and retention and I was a significant contributor.

On the "business" side, I enjoy being responsible for a variety of tasks necessary to run an office proficiently. Although the core functions have remained much the same; creating spreadsheets, composing correspondence, managing databases, etc., the role of an administrative assistant has evolved greatly and has allowed me to assume a wider range of new responsibilities.

On the "personal" side, I enjoy being able to transfer my business skills and use them to assist individuals whether they are a celebrity, professional athlete, executive, business owner or simply in need of an extra pair of hands.

Being in this line of work allows me the opportunity to meet new people, acquire new skills and share the talents I currently possess. Although I can't help everyone, I'd like to be the best help to those I can.

In closing I would like to share with you one of my favorite Chinese proverbs:

If you would be happy for an hour, take a nap.
If you would be happy for a day, go fishing.
If you would be happy for a month, get married.
If you would be happy for a year, inherit a fortune.
If you would be happy for life, love your work.
