Emma Ho’o (She/Her)

Administrative Assistant at Westridge

I think at times I do everything, everywhere, all at once, but without a big space bagel taunting me with mysteries. I assist three, yes THREE admin with their day-to-do, contribute to problem-solving, creating new events, managing people from students, staff, to parents, facilitating discussions around strategy and processes, and I have on occasion run to Target to get my boss a new pair of shoes because her heels broke and I'll be damned if that Queen walks around in anything less than fabulous.

Qualities I value in my colleagues

  • Work ethic
  • empathy
  • efficiency
  • ownership
  • honesty

My communication style

  • Articulate
  • direct
  • overcommunicative
  • proactive
  • persuasive

I enjoy being honest about my wants and needs to accomplish my goals. I truly believe we can and should communicate with a foundation of social/emotional learning, along with the boundaries and expectations one should have in a place of work. I think company culture is important in building that kind of shared language and one of the primary ways we can all align on mission and vision, internally and externally.

My pet peeves

  • Poor communication
  • inconsiderateness
  • unreliability
  • ungratefulness
  • disrespectfulness

Ungratefulness, Inconsiderateness, Unreliability, Poor Communication, and Disrespectfulness seem to key components of poor work culture that perpetuates the same. Even if I struggle with some aspects of my work, I always try to make it better, and good communication is needed to make sure expectations can be communicated and met. Even when dealing with a problem there's no need for bad manners! Bad manners at work are a nightmare!!!!!

Fun fact

I’ve travelled to Copenhagen Denmark 7 times so far, and am planning to now go 2x a year. I'm waiting for a sign from whatever powerful entity is out there that I should just move!

Personal Q&A

  • How do you like to run meetings?

    I like to lead facilitations in meetings. Starting off with some coffee, tea, yummy foods, and maybe even a light glass of wine if it's near the of the day....But I want to set the intention that we are here for a purpose, and we're going to find a solution together, be accountable together, and grow together!
