Summary

Since PA’s are easy to hire but often quit after the first day because they think that fetching coffee is beneath them, or my favourite…coming to work as a PA in flip-flops; I have no such illusions of grandeur. I work well in a field of organised chaos!

As a PA; please see box above. I’m good at it; no direction too small, no hour too early! My dates above are ballpark, and of course, in this line of work, they may be weeks or days between projects; I did not work 9-5 (ever!) in any given year.
