BIO:
Sarah Fleiss is an opera singer studying at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Prior to focusing on music, she attended Columbia University, studying Theatre and Psychology. Her Ivy League background catapulted her interest in administration. As a singer and professional, she has incredible time management and scheduling skills. She travels frequently, so is well-equipped in travel logistics, and enjoys communicating with people from different countries and backgrounds. Attuned to detail, she has an eye for grammar and can proofread client communications and important documents. She is organized and will be able to streamline inboxes and files, as well as manage itineraries. She is greatly looking forward to starting her journey as an Executive Assistant!
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE:
Secretary of the Curtis Institute of Music Student Council- taking notes and sending detailed official minutes, communicating within the council and to the school’s administration (present)
Board Member of Musical Mentors Collaborative- while teaching free piano and voice lessons to underprivileged children, helped schedule and plan events for this non-profit, student-lead organization on campus at Columbia
Manager of my own operatic career- managing my schedule, booking travel arrangements, networking skills, social media management of my professional website and YouTube, filling out applications for auditions and competitions
HOW I COMMUNICATE:
I prefer to receive written information, but benefit from verbal conversations when learning something new.
Will ask for clarification when needed!
HOW I PREFER TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK:
“Glows then grows” were very helpful to me during the screening process. I like to receive constructive criticism so I can constantly improve and reach the next level.
Written feedback will be enough for day to day observations, but I would love to have verbal conversations periodically to discuss our long-term progress!
WORKING STYLE:
In my eyes, the smallest of details add up to create the big picture. You provide me with your big picture and as many details as you have and I will use my fine-tuned skills to fill in the rest. No stone will be left unturned!
You can rest assured that your every detail and expectation will be met, and that I will work from your lead to ensure that your goals are achieved.
