Mattie Porter
Mattie Porter joined the PorterWorks team starting January 3, 2011. Mattie will be our Office Manager, handling all the details that keep our training and consulting business on track. She comes to our company with 4+ years of paid experience as an office assistant/manager/secretary/executive assistant but has certainly put in her volunteer hours as well.
Most recently she spent 11 months as a live-in nanny for 2 small French-speaking boys in Switzerland so she has lots of experience with time, resource and personnel management! She likes photography, cooking, eating, learning, reading and writing. Someday she plans to get her BA in Communications so she can save the world by writing for a newspaper or magazine that doesn't make any money. She likes red wine, long walks on the beach and her iPhone.
She'll be the point person for all our students, customers, and instructors.
