What are your biggest strengths – what expertise can you share with the group?

  • Being able to multitask is a strength we all have.
  • Don’t do a shorthand shortcut when taking notes from a phone call or meeting.  Write them so you will understand what you wrote a week or a month/year later.
  • Create a folder for each meeting, class or event you are coordinating. Put all notes, payment information, contact list, attendees and a timeline checklist in the folder.

What do you like most about working here?

Some reasons I have worked here a billion years!

  • Helping families is a big plus!
  • The staff I have had the pleasure of working with.
  • Staff from other depts that have helped me with a work issue & answered the many questions I have posed.
  • Proximity of the ESD to my home. Proximity to schools my sons had attended. Past tense because, man, they are old now!
