  Beaver Dam Community Hospitals, Inc.

  Sept 2013 - Jun 2014

  Executive Assistant

  As an Executive Assistant in Marketing & Development, I assisted the director and also had a lot of responsibility with the hospital's Foundation. I maintained the DonorPerfect database, corresponded with donors, managed events, organized board meetings, solicited employee donations and performed many other general office tasks. Managing the director's calendar was also one of my priorities. It was a very fulfilling position, but a little too demanding for me and my family.

  Richards Insurance

  Employee Benefits Marketing & Social Media Manager

  Marketing group benefits is my main role at Richards Benefits & Financial Services. If one of our groups (or a new one) is looking to get competitive quotes from carriers for health insurance, short term disability, long term disability and/or group life insurance, our agents give the information to me. I then request quotes from the carriers and put all of the information into a proposal for the agent to take back to the client. In 2016, I started to help with branding, managing our website and maintaining social media... which I LOVE! Show less
