Background

About Sandra Derian

I am an administrative professional with a unique talent for understanding process and coordinating several projects with minimal supervision. My advanced administrative experience can help your organization be forward-thinking. I can coordinate events for 10 to people with the smallest budgets. I will help you produce meeting materials, order catering, track paid registration, recruit volunteers, and promote the event through various types of media. I can also run award ceremonies, commencement ceremonies, and white coat ceremonies which involve coordination of academic regalia and lab uniforms. I am adept at formatting, editing, and assembling complex documents for internal departments or external clients. I take ownership of my projects; keep an eye on accuracy; check the sources; review all areas for assurance of quality. I easily adapt to changes and can plan around tight deadlines. I can tap into my expertise with time management applications to help a business be effective with a staff of any size. I regularly maintain proficiency in all of the following applications and operating systems: MAC OS X, Windows, MS Office for Windows & Mac, Adobe Acrobat Professional, Ellucian database, as well as many other software programs. I am also experienced with HTML for updating websites within content management systems on Yahoo, Blogger, Ingeniux, Alfresco, and OU Campus plus routine publishing to social networking sites. I regularly use room scheduling software programs, student information systems, and have an advanced level of knowledge of Qualtrics. I can research using National Student Clearinghouse, Westlaw, or LexisNexis. I have helped faculty maintain their publications in SSRN and use Interfolio. I have knowledge of Harvard Law's Bluebook Citation standards.
