What I'm looking for

I seek mission-driven roles providing executive support or operations leadership where I can streamline processes, manage cross-functional projects, and support senior leaders.

I am an experienced executive coordinator with 7+ years supporting senior leadership across nonprofit, education, military, and private-sector environments. I specialize in calendar management, travel coordination, budget tracking, and confidential executive support.

I have led projects using Asana, Google Workspace, Tableau, and Excel, producing SOPs, dashboards, and digital archives that improved workflows and accreditation readiness. I also planned large-scale events, managed vendor relationships, and negotiated cost-effective services.

My background includes service-oriented work with the U.S. Coast Guard, nonprofit partnerships, and university accreditation projects—where I produced the Program Analysis Report and spearheaded a virtual portal. I consistently deliver clear communication, risk-aware decision making, and meticulous documentation.

I bring a blend of operational rigor and creative skill—proficient with Adobe Creative Suite and database management—focused on mission-oriented roles where I can streamline processes, support leaders, and drive measurable impact.
