What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role where I can help things run more smoothly for a mission-driven company. I work best in environments with trust, clear communication, and some autonomy. Ideally, I’d be coordinating various projects and working with a variety of personalities. I also enjoy roles that leave space for collaboration, creative problem-solving, and the occasional curveball.

I’m a Business Operations professional with 7+ years of experience helping teams stay organized, on track, and focused.

Some things I’m good at:
• Keeping projects moving by creating structure and clarity
• Supporting leadership by managing priorities and removing roadblocks
• Organizing internal systems so work gets done more smoothly

I’ve worked on everything from a $13M global supply chain initiative to multi-building office relocations. I’ve built dashboards to track performance, created systems that cut hours of manual work, and helped cross-functional teams communicate more effectively. Most of all, I like being the person people count on when things get complicated.

Outside of work, I’m into organizing (yes, for fun), process design, aesthetic planning, and anything that helps people feel more in control of their space or schedule.
