What I'm looking for

I seek a role providing executive and operations support in a collaborative, mission-driven organization where I can apply analytical rigor, improve workflows, and grow professionally.

I am an Executive Assistant and operations support professional with experience across legal, healthcare, nonprofit, and operations-driven environments, bringing structure to complex workflows and high-stakes tasks.

My background in microbiology sharpens my attention to detail and data handling; I have improved workflow efficiency, reduced testing errors, and maintained high accuracy in laboratory analysis while supporting executive-level schedules and documentation.

I combine strong written communication, project coordination, and proficiency with remote tools (Trello, Notion, Zoom, Google Workspace) to deliver discreet, reliable executive and administrative support and to drive measurable operational improvements.
