What I'm looking for
I am an administrative professional with over five years of experience supporting department heads and leadership teams in dynamic, high-growth environments. My expertise lies in calendar and inbox management, stakeholder communication, and event coordination at the leadership level. I am known for my ability to juggle competing priorities and anticipate needs before they arise, ensuring smooth operations behind the scenes.
In my most recent role as a Group Sales Manager at Hyatt Place, I managed proposal drafting, contracts, and financial records related to group room blocks and corporate meetings. I collaborated with research-based organizations to facilitate logistics for educational conferences and prepared executive briefing materials to streamline decision-making. My experience also includes serving as a Catering Sales Manager, where I oversaw administrative tasks related to corporate events and maintained compliance across event documentation.
