Helen Graves Business Accomplishments

2. I received my passion for Office Management Executive Assistant while working at
Amalgamated Bank. Amalgamated Bank gave my the opportunity to grow, expand my
knowledge and gave me the education and tools to advance. Upon my relocation to Atlanta, GA
I was not sure if I wanted to go back into the corporate world, so I decided to go back to school
and obtain another degree in Business Management as a class project we had to develop a
company, it was so interesting that I decided to create my own business “Superior Secretarial
Services” a Virtual Assistant for Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs. After joining the
Rockdale Chamber of Commerce and other Social Networking groups my business grew from a
Virtual Assistant to a full Small Business because everyone needed someone to complete their
Administrative Assignments but could not afford to hire someone on a full time basis, I
received so many assignments that I moved Superior Secretarial Service into an employment
service where I contracted staff to work from home to various businesses, while working full
time positions.
Five years later I realized that I really miss the Corporate World and NYC , I miss the
excitement , fast pace and the competitive activity of Manhattan . I am looking for a company
that I can apply my skills and knowledge. A new adventure where I can stay for twenty years
like I did at Amalgamated Bank to grow, advance and learn.
Office Management Executive Assistant is my passion because I love helping managers
and co-workers achieve a better working environment through Leadership, Planning, Team
Building and Creativity Ideas.
