About Margaret Jimenez

You have a way with words\" is a phrase that\'s dominated the latter part of my work life. Translated into my everyday world of work, I\'m very good at business writing. After almost forty years of administrative experience, I\'ve used these writing skills to produce many documents. These include correspondence (e-mail and letters), technical, operations, policy manuals, and reports, and I\'ve even done copy editing as needed. I\'m also well-versed in these skills in both Spanish and English. I have over fifteen years of serving in a management and operations capacity in the corporate and higher Ed worlds. I have now taken my skills into philanthropy. I am proficient at finding ways to streamline processes without sacrificing excellence. I\'m not one to come in and reinvent the wheel, but if I find I can make something more efficient and effective, it\'s going to happen. I can offer any team a commitment to excellence, reliability, a high aptitude for learning, and a willingness to go the extra mile. Lastly, as I appreciate all opportunities I\'m given, vocational or otherwise, I will always aim to give my best in everything I do. You can count on it.
