Ellyn Gimbel

With over 10 years of experience in successful and productive environments, I have developed a range of competencies that enable me to provide support and assistance in several diverse and professional organizations. As the Office Administrative Assistant and Home Staging Assistant in an Interior Design firm, I successfully enhanced office efficiency and performance objectives. I was praised by my employers for my professionalism and amiable interpersonal skills, as well as my ability to determine and accomplish important priorities through effective time management.

I was part of the team to help create beautiful interior design at clients homes. I can take directions and work independently with attention to details and open-minded thinking. I am eager to apply my skills and experience in a new and exciting working environment as a vital and supportive member in an innovative Home Staging team..

I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I may be of service. Sincerely, Ellyn
