What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a resourceful and results-driven Executive Assistant with 9 years of experience supporting C-suite leaders, sales teams, and operations. I have been recognized for orchestrating seamless onboarding processes, optimizing executive efficiency, and driving employee engagement through impactful events and operational improvements. My skills in vendor management, pricing coordination, and contract preparation have allowed me to contribute significantly to organizational success.

In my recent role as Office Manager and Executive Assistant at K2 Partnering Solutions, I spearheaded executive support functions, overseeing complex calendars and international travel. I directed the planning and execution of global incentive trips and large-scale company events, streamlining office operations and vendor management. My ability to co-lead virtual team experiences and enhance cross-functional connections has been pivotal in boosting morale and productivity.

Throughout my career, I have consistently maximized productivity by revamping calendar management strategies and leveraging collaboration tools. I am passionate about building processes that elevate both productivity and company culture, and I am eager to bring my expertise to a dynamic team.
