Background

About Denise Putnam

I have extensive legal assistant experience in law firms and as a senior administrative assistant in various typical office settings, as well as office management and supervision experience. I have excellent typing skills, am computer proficient in various software programs used in a college/university setting, including Microsoft office, word, excel and outlook. I have excellent organizational skills and can multi-task and prioritize work in a stressful environment. I have managed budgets and various restricted and unrestricted funds, including processing all order/invoices and managed accounts payables/receivables. I have excellent communication skills and have extensive experience in dealing with clients, students and parents in law firms, colleges, office settings, classroom settings and church settings. I can adapt well in any office environment and am a quick learner. I have been in charge of student recruitment in a college setting as a senior administrative assistant, as well as made appearances in courts before judges and clerks while working as a legal assistant. I have managed student workers and employees. I maintain confidentiality as proven in a college setting, church offices and law firms. I can learn and perform any task before me and welcome new opportunities to learn and be challenged. My spouse served in the United Methodist Church from June 1984 until retirement in October 2001, which is why there is a void in my work experience. During that time, he was appointed to various churches throughout the States of OK and TX and I found employment in jobs that included some of the following: cattle auction office and serving as town clerk in Texhoma, OK; pre-school teacher in Sallisaw, OK; church secretary in both Marshall and Nacogdoches, TX; assistant in photography studio and church secretary in Wharton, OK, as well as volunteer work with children, youth and adults in the churches he served.
