Hey there!
I'm the Administrative Assistant for the Division of Surgical Oncology at the University of Kentucky. I get to work with a fantastic group of professionals, including Dr. Joseph Kim, Dr. Michael Cavnar, Dr. Prakash Pandalai, Dr. Erin Burke, Dr. Mautin Barry-Hundeyin, Dr. V. Morgan Jones, and Dr. Irada Ibrahim-zada. I help them with things like managing correspondence, scheduling meetings, arranging travel, processing financial paperwork, and maintaining files. And, you know what? I'm pretty good at it!
I'm here to make sure everything runs smoothly, coordinating meetings, events, and travel arrangements. I can handle phone and video conferences, create presentations, do research, and share information. I understand the importance of keeping things confidential and can assure you that I'll handle all sensitive information with the utmost care. And, I'm great with people! I'm self-motivated, reliable, and professional, always striving to exceed expectations.
I'm also pretty tech-savvy, and proficient in software like Microsoft Office, Snagit, e-Reserves at the University Library, Concur Travel & Expenses, Email, Instant Messaging, and more. I can keep everyone in the loop and provide research and information support when needed. I'm organized and detail-oriented, making sure everything is done accurately and on time. And, I'm a great communicator, able to work effectively with a variety of people.
