Margaret Skupa
executive administrative assistant
Professional info
I have provided over 20 years of Executive Administrative support to several Senior Vice Presidents, and have extensive experience supporting Attorneys and Industry Experts. I have been responsible for the safekeeping of sensitive and confidential information, while still working well with others in a team environment. I have collaborated on and assisted with proposal development, writing, and production to support marketing and business development, using a mix of creativity of design and presentation of facts in order to best convey the experience and services offered. I enjoy learning new technologies, and working with computers for both the organization and creative outlets they provide, I am proficient in Microsoft Office and work on both Mac and PC platforms. Having fulfilled the roles of Executive Assistant, HR Representative and Office Manager, my skills are broad and translate well into almost any industry.
