Executive Assistant and Operations Coordinator who streamlines workflows, strengthens accountability, and drives measurable growth through communications.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Executive Assistant, Operations Coordinator, and Social Media Strategist with 3+ years of experience supporting founders, nonprofits, and fast-paced businesses. I streamline operations, manage projects end-to-end, and support executive leadership by building systems that improve communication, accountability, and workflow efficiency.
I’m known for strong written communication, independent problem-solving, and creating structure teams can rely on. Recent work includes centralized documentation systems, automated applicant acknowledgments (100% of 50+ applicants confirmed), reducing manual admin by ~5 hours weekly, and boosting visibility and engagement across channels (e.g., +85% visibility, +800% LinkedIn visibility, and up to +200% lead generation).
