What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my administrative skills in a supportive environment, ideally within a healthcare or research setting, where I can contribute to meaningful projects and continue my professional growth.

I am an experienced administrative assistant with a strong background in social work, currently working at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT. My role involves ensuring smooth lab operations, managing schedules, and collaborating with finance teams to maintain budgets. I take pride in fostering a collaborative work environment and supporting research projects through data analysis and interpretation.

Previously, I provided administrative support at Magenta Therapeutics, where I improved office efficiency through organizational systems and managed budgets for multiple team members. My experience also includes working as a Family-Based Clinician, where I delivered therapeutic services and developed individualized treatment plans, showcasing my ability to work effectively in diverse environments.
