Work smarter, not harder!

Welcome to Smarter Admins, a Sydney-based site launched mid-2011 as a resource for Australian office administrative staff (i.e. secretaries, EAs (executive assistants), PAs (personal assistants), office managers and everything in between!)

You’re lucky enough to be viewing Smarter Admins in its very early days, having launched in July 2011. I’m so excited about this project, it brings together two things I’m very passionate about – office administration and blogging.

If you have any feedback about Smarter Admins, please contact me.

About the founder & “Director of First Impressions”

Laura | Smarter AdminsHi there, I’m Laura and I’m the face behind Smarter Admins. I currently work full-time as a Personal Assistant, but I have also been a Secretary, Customer Service Assistant, Receptionist, Office Coordinator, Editorial Assistant and Administrator. I started full-time work over 15 years ago—before I even started my HSC exams—in a customer service role—and I haven’t looked back. I was a graduate of the Training in Retail and Commerce (TRAC) vocational educational program in my final two years of high school (graduating with distinction) and my working life has been very much inspired by my older sister who also works in administration roles.

I have been blogging for about seven years and designed my first web site in 1999.

This is the most exciting web project I have been involved in and my first big solo project — I hope you can join me on the journey!
