Cherell’s journey from Administrative Assistant at an accounting firm to her current role as Executive Administrator is a testament to her commitment, adaptability, and desire to make a meaningful impact. When she partnered with Matern Staffing, we aligned her experience and skills with roles that fit her needs and the employer. From day one, Cherell’s strong work ethic and willingness to go above and beyond set her apart.
Behind the Scenes
While she works behind the scenes, Cherell plays a pivotal role in keeping the organization running smoothly. Her attention to detail in managing calendars, organizing meetings, and supporting leadership may not always be in the spotlight, but her contributions are felt across departments. The efficiencies she creates allow the nonprofit to focus on its mission, making her an indispensable part of the team. It’s this quiet yet powerful influence that ultimately led to our team recognizing her as Matern Staffing’s Employee of the Year—a well-earned acknowledgment of the big impact she makes each day.
Improving Productivity & Seeing the Impacts
At first, Cherell took an interim administrative role with a local educational nonprofit. She seamlessly filled the gap for an employee out on extended leave and quickly became the go-to person for all student related items.
Currently, Cherell assists the nonprofit’s President and plays a key role in human resources. She manages the calendar, attends key meetings, and takes minutes. She also participates in community events and stays deeply engaged in her work. These meetings are more than routine—it’s a front seat to witness the positive impacts on the community. Consequently, this fuels her passion for the role.
Honing Skills & Gaining Knowledge
In her current role, Cherell has grown professionally in unexpected ways. She has sharpened her skills and expanded her understanding of human resources by taking on new responsibilities and working directly with leadership. Her managers’ testimonials speak volumes, clearly showing how much they value her contributions.
“Cherell is a true administration professional. She is a very fast learner, provides quality work with a quick turnaround time and on top of it all is a very kind person. She asks the necessary clarifying questions, and she is an excellent communicator,” states Janel D., President of a local nonprofit.
Paving the Way to Success with Gratitude
Reflecting on her journey through a staffing agency, Cherell’s advice to others is simple but profound: rise to the occasion and show gratitude.
“I would advise anyone to always bring your best and to do your best. Be grateful for each opportunity.” – Cherell
It’s advice that she lives by, and her recent recognition as Matern Staffing’s Employee of the Year shows just how much her dedication and hard work have made an impact. Her former manager, Ken, states, “Cherell stepped in and filled a massive void when one of our most experienced staff was to be out on leave for an extended period of time. Cherell hit the ground running and was eager to learn. She asked key questions, did important advocating, and always carried a smile.”
Through every challenge and every opportunity, Cherell’s commitment shines through, making her a vital part of each team and a true professional.
Increasing productivity, building skills, and showing gratitude – that’s Cherell’s story.
