1. Office Manager

   Firefly Autism

   Jul 2023 — Present

   The job as the Office Manager at Firefly Autism is a smattering of office duties and helping out anyway I can, Daily tasks include but are not limited to unlocking and locking the centers\' doors, answering calls from parents who have a child newly diagnosed, a variety of parent questions about autism and Fireflies programs, school districts needing information, and directing calls to over 100 employees. Greeting people as they come in is another big part of this job, sometimes they are important donors, media, and parents who need someone to listen. Having the ability to multitask was extremely helpful in this position, as I am given duties from the Executive Director, Chief Clinical Officer, and by the Clinical Liason who was my direct supervisor, and sorting out the priority of those requests was a challenging daily task. Ordering, tracking all supplies for the center, helping out in a wide variety of departments when needed such as the Firefly yearly conference, yearly audits for accounting, social media for marketing, taking donations for development, and planning yearly events for the team. This job included the refilling of toilet paper, paper towels, soap, gloves, dish soap, and being it is an square foot building that took a bit of skill to make sure they did not run out. Attending all board meetings, taking notes at the board meetings, and then editing the notes so they can be pulled and added to the audit. One of my favorite duties was attending to the staff\'s and parents\' daily requests. Interacting with them is one of the best parts of the office manager position. When Firefly would need to close for any reason it was my job to get up at 5 am to call the media, school districts, post on all social media accounts, and email parents. I am in charge of tracking the center\'s expenses, creating spreadsheets for all expenses by department, and reporting this to the accounting team as well.
