  VISIONSMITH INC

  Aug 2007 - Mar 2015

  Optician

  This wonderful, family owned practice was a pleasure to work in. Dr. Smith recruited me to his private practice after working with him previously at several Cole Managed Vision locations. My duties included; sale and dispensing of RX eyewear, auto refraction and visual field testing, submission of insurance data to a variety of networks, paper and digital record keeping, teaching I&R classes, appointment setting, providing high end products along with excellent customer service, and much more!

  Mapleridge Church

  Aug 2012 - Feb 2016

  Administrator

  The variety of tasks in this position are too wide and numerous to recount. Hired as an Administrative Assistant to a fully staffed office, my flexibility and adaptability became a great asset when, in a short time, the entire staff turned over. New hires did not occur and for nearly a year, I inherited many of the tasks of several FT positions while serving in this position. While we have currently hired 2 new staff members, my duties are still broad. They include/have included, but are not limited to; -office management-facility management oversight-technology implementation and hardware maintenance-marketing -weekly, monthly and annual presentation and document development and distribution-public relations-volunteer coordination-professional assistance to a team of pastors-primary purchaser of supplies for office, facility-inbound and outbound communications-website and social media management-event coordination-youth and missions event coordination Show less
