Welcome to Audacious Admin!!
I believe the administrative staff is one of the most powerful, yet under-utilized tool managers have at their disposal. I created this blog to share ideas, books, articles, conferences, training, and other resources I've found to be educational, informational and inspirational in the hope each of you will strive to become strategic business partners with your executives.
Please know I make no claims to be the be-all and end-all source on the numerous resources available for administrative professionals. Rarely a day passes when I don't learn of a new resource that can assist me on my own professional development journey. I strongly encourage sharing and welcome your feedback. Please contact me if you would like me to share one of your favorite resources, or if you have any suggestions.
My motivational and skills training sessions improve efficiency and empower admins to be AUDACIOUS!
This project launched on Facebook in August 2014 before moving to this page in February 2015. Please be sure to check out the Audacious Admin Facebook page for even more resources.

A little about myself:
I've been an executive assistant for just shy of 20 years now. I stumbled upon my career quite by accident. I worked in the hospitality industry until September of 1997 when I relocated to San Diego. While I looked for my next position, I agreed to help a family friend by being the receptionist at their asset management firm. Within a month I was promoted to support the firm's Vice President. I supported him for the next 10 years, at two firms and from two coasts. I’ve held some fascinating positions supporting senior executives at architecture, marketing, executive search, and government consulting firms.
I love being an executive assistant! I enjoy the fact no two days are alike. and that most days present some sort of challenge. Knowing how much I'm appreciated is a nice perk of the job. I’ve learned so much from the amazing executives I’ve supported, not just about business, but about the type of person I want to be.
I reside in Florida with my husband and two cats. In addition to my administrative career, I am the founder of Audacious Divas, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for ongoing cancer research, promoting local programs that educate and support those whose lives are impacted by cancer, and raising awareness. I’m a breast cancer survivor, therefore most of my fundraising projects are for breast cancer research & awareness. My most successful endeavor to date has been Celtic Pink Ribbon, a series of compilation CDs of Celtic bands and musicians.
