Proactive Executive Assistant skilled in operations and team support.
What I'm looking for
I am a proactive and detail-oriented Executive Assistant with over three years of experience supporting remote teams in administration, operations, and internal coordination. My expertise lies in calendar and inbox management, travel planning, and document handling, utilizing tools like Zapier and ClickUp to enhance workflows. I am known for staying ahead of tasks, communicating clearly, and bringing structure to fast-paced environments.
During my tenure at Zmedia, I effectively managed complex executive calendars, prioritized tasks, and organized detailed travel arrangements under tight deadlines. My role involved drafting confidential communications, managing executive expenses, and leading internal projects aimed at improving employee engagement. I take pride in my ability to create Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that streamline recurring administrative tasks, ensuring efficiency and clarity in operations.
As I continue my education in Commerce with a focus on Accounting, I am eager to leverage my skills in a dynamic environment where I can contribute to organizational success while furthering my professional growth.
