What I'm looking for

I am seeking an operations or administrative leadership role where I can improve processes, manage teams, ensure regulatory compliance, and contribute to a customer-focused, collaborative workplace.

I am an operations and administrative professional with broad experience in office management, facility oversight, and administrative support. I consistently optimize workflows and maintain compliant, welcoming environments for staff and clients.

In my recent role as Studio Manager I led staff scheduling, training, performance evaluations, facility maintenance, inventory control, and budget management to ensure peak operational functionality. I have a track record of streamlining administrative processes like payroll preparation and reporting to keep operations running smoothly.

My background includes roles as an Executive Assistant, Office Manager, logistics coordinator, and warehouse associate where I managed payroll, tax filings, QuickBooks reporting, vendor relationships, shipping/receiving, and project work. I bring strong technical skills in Microsoft Office, QuickBooks, and data entry combined with attention to detail and reliability.

I hold certifications in First Aid/CPR/AED, personal training and multiple fitness instructor credentials, and I approach work with adaptability, problem-solving, and a commitment to excellent customer service and safety.
