Suzanne Roberts’s Summary
I am seeking a position at an energetic and creative arts organization. My arts background is theater, but I am interested in learning more about and actively supporting all arts. I am an asset to any organization and bring my own energy and confidence. I am responsible and organized, as well as creative and resourceful. I have experience handling details, schedules, travel arrangements, event planning, and administrative duties. I can learn the nuances of any business quickly. I can support your marketing efforts with excellent communication skills and experience with various software programs.
I have organized and coordinated company offices, media productions, and corporate events. I have worked with individuals planning a European vacation, a cast of hundreds on a major New York film, and dignitaries at receptions for the Republican National Convention.

I can help you deal with that shoe box full of pictures, or the task of getting all those pictures out of iphoto and into a beautiful album... it's easy and fun. I've been doing this for 14 years and decided it was time to sell what I had been buying for so long! Let me know if you want any products or advice on scrapbooking!
