My name is Pamela Hodge. I am an experienced Bookkeeper and Administrative Assistant with a focus on non-profits. Experience as the Treasurer of the OpenHearth Foundation, Vice President of the Maryland Saddle Association, and Operations Director of Shared Support Maryland LLC has exposed me to many different non-profits from many different positions. This gives me a “whole business” point of view. Knowledgeable in banking, accounting, audits, fundraising, operations, and organization, I enjoy applying my experience to new situations. I have experience working with a variety of customers from state programs and large corporations to non-profits and small local businesses.  I am proficient in Google Suite, QuickBooks Online, Microsoft Office, Dropbox and many other social media applications.  With my free time I sometimes find, I enjoy dancing, sewing, animals, and anything nerdy.

My name is Amanda Garion. I am an administrative professional with extensive experience across industries. I’m known as the one who will take on and own the “other duties as assigned” wheelhouse! I’ve worked in accounting, customer service, data entry, community management, insurance, accounting, social media, coaching, and much more. I’m also an entrepreneur in the dance business, instructing classes, producing events, and managing a membership community. In my free time, I enjoy my life with my husband, 2 beautiful daughters, and our dog! We love to game, camp, visit friends and family, and read together.

My name is Kirsten Grish. I’ve been an administrative assistant for 15+ years in the software industry for teams supporting the intel and defense sectors. I’ve worn many hats throughout my career at large, from a Public Relations position with an outdoor recreation chain to a Production Coordinator for an historic mapping research company. I am very methodical and task-oriented, striving to understand the bigger picture outside my role to best do my job. I am well versed in the need to be meticulous with tasks subject to audits such as timesheets, travel expenses, invoicing, and minute-taking in metrics meetings. Favorite tasks include editing content, formatting documents, entering/cleaning up data, creating digital forms, S.O.P documentation, and “word-smithing.”  During my free time I run a photography business and am a dance instructor/performer, glad to have shared the stage with fellow admin Pamela! I also love all things nature and outdoors. I’ve volunteered at zoos, on a great white shark research boat in South Africa, and as a SCUBA diver at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Currently I am spending lots of time in the forest and training to become a certified Virginia Master Naturalist. I’m excited to be joining the team and look forward to relieving you of the necessary but time-consuming tasks!

Armed with degrees in journalism and publishing and a certificate in international communications, I’ve worked in the public and private sectors and for-profit and non-profit companies. From public relations to crisis communications to ghost writing bylines for Forbes and Fasst Company, there’s very little in the industry I haven’t done. Formerly from New York, I now live in the greater New Orleans area with my dog, cat and a revolving door of foster animals.
