Acknowledged for a versatile skill set that bridges high-level executive support with strategic business operations, project management, and cross-functional team leadership.

I excel at transforming executive vision into actionable strategy, driving organizational alignment, and optimizing operational workflows to enhance efficiency and productivity.
