Before embarking on her own career, and during her high school years, Summer worked for her mother's (see Lynn's bio above) service company. She successfully learned how to prepare bookkeeping records for small business and was a valuable asset to that organization. When clients asked if she was going to follow into her mother's footsteps, her response would be "Ill never be a bookkeeper." Well, DNA is stronger than teenage rebellion, and Summer found her successful niche in the business world as a bookkeeper and office manager for small construction companies. Summer is now excited about coming full circle and combining her early public service experience with her knowledge of private company business management to provide excellent service to small businesses.                                                                                             Laurel Smith - Office Manager                                          Laurel@smithofficesolutions.net Laurel Smith has approximately eight years experience in the customer service, general office, and desktop publishing fields.
