I have enjoyed the independence of small business ownership, and many years of rewarding management experience in a large public institution. I now seek a more personally gratifying position that offers a wider variety of tasks that support the well-being of a busy Bay Area family and the smooth running of a home office. As a single mother who has been employed continuously while raising two sons to adulthood, I am an adept juggler of all things family and work. Over the years, I have maintained a well-organized and welcoming home while succeeding in my professional life. I have competently supervised staff and managed their work performance; have successfully planned and executed small and large events; have managed a busy calendar and coordinated travel arrangements, and have always demonstrated great integrity, efficiency, professionalism and attention to detail. Having traveled extensively and worked at all levels of public and private sector Read more organizations, I am confident interacting in professional and social settings and am a great communicator, both orally and in written correspondence. College educated with a Master's degree in Counseling/Psychology and additional training at the University of Washington in positive parenting skills, I have successfully taught parents of pre-school and school-aged children. I have always embraced the challenge of balancing a professional and home life. I am CPR certified, a great swimmer, enjoy hikes, golf, travel, gardening and gourmet cooking. I look forward to meeting with you soon to explore an opportunity to provide for your family's needs. Sincerely, Elaine Rivas
