Crystal Fortner

I’m a devoted mother, wife, and Christian with a worth ethic as strong as my faith and a cheerful spirit. As an intuitive , detail-oriented self-starter, I take pride in approaching every task with both excellence and a sense of humor. I currently serve as the Office Manager for a nonprofit organization, a role I’ve poured my heart into and truly love. Over the years, I’ve grown in skill, leadership, and responsibility—but I’ve reached the ceiling in my current position and am now eager to take the next step upward in my career. I thrive in collaborative environments, bring positivity to the workplace, and am known for being both dependable and easy to work with.

For the past eight years, I have served as the Office Manager for a nonprofit organization, a role that has evolved into a kaleidoscope of responsibilities and skillsets. I have become a veritable utility player—stepping up to every challenge that has arisen with adaptability and quiet tenacity. Beyond the realm of administration, I have donned many hats: impromptu IT troubleshooter, resident handyman, meticulous bookkeeper, accounts payable overseer, donation wrangler, and fundraising orchestrator. My duties have also extended into the human sphere—as receptionist, empathetic social worker in the midst of learning a second language to become a Spanish translator for our non-English speaking clients. In essence, my professional journey has been one of continual metamorphosis, guided by a steadfast commitment to service and an unflagging willingness to learn whatever the moment demands.

While I do hold a degree in English—an achievement that makes me reasonably well-read and able to cobble together a respectable sentence or two—it has proven about as practical in my daily life as a degree in 17th-century French Philosophy (no offense intended to any proud scholars of the genre). My truest education has come not from dusty lecture halls, but from the unpredictable, ever-whirling classroom of a social work office. Immersed in its daily rhythm, I’ve learned that no two days are alike—each one delivering its own peculiar blend of chaos, compassion, and surprise. Just when I begin to think I’ve seen it all, the universe serves up a fresh oddity to keep me sharp, humble, and endlessly evolving.
