What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative organization where I can provide executive-level support, optimize operations, manage stakeholders, and drive measurable process and funding outcomes.

I am an Executive Assistant and operations professional with 5+ years supporting senior leaders, managing complex calendars, and coordinating high-impact initiatives. I combine discretion, proactive problem-solving, and strong stakeholder relations to streamline workflows and enable better executive decision-making.

My work has driven measurable impact — helping secure $1.95M in annual operating funds, reducing staff and volunteer operational time by 30%, and strengthening partnerships with 30+ organizations. I bring CRM and reporting expertise, cross-functional coordination experience, and a track record of managing high-volume intake and logistics under pressure.
