My name is LaVell and I am interested in any position/role you might have available. I am currently a graduate student at UNLV. My skills, as you'll see from my resume below, lie solely in administrative/management positions. I am open to anything, though. And while I'm taking a risk posting my resume here--because it could easily just be copied by someone else--I am willing to take the chance because I need some income.
Does anyone need help? A personal assistant? Executive assistant? Office manager?
