Operations and project management leader improving efficiency and delivering complex projects.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations and project management professional who supports executive leadership while keeping day-to-day work running smoothly. I bring a hands-on, reliable approach to managing administrative functions, confidential priorities, and high-volume scheduling in fast-paced environments.
As Director of Operations/Principal Assistant, I manage operations for a luxury interior design firm while leading administrative functions that keep projects moving. I coordinate complex scheduling and travel arrangements, oversee procurement, and manage installation logistics across multiple residential design projects.
I also focus on operational improvement and execution quality: leading staff coordination and workload management, identifying process improvements, and maintaining accurate project records. I manage contracts, proposals, invoicing, and documentation, while monitoring project budgets, timelines, and deliverables from start to finish.
Before that, I served as an Office Manager/Executive Assistant supporting architects and interior designers with project coordination, proposal preparation, site visit documentation, and client communications. Earlier, I managed daily operations for a satellite office, supported executive leadership with accounting-related tasks, helped launch three office locations, and led marketing efforts including social media, campaigns, and trade show coordination.
