What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values proactive support and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an organised and proactive Executive Assistant with over three years of experience supporting senior leadership in dynamic environments. My ability to anticipate needs and manage shifting priorities has enabled me to create calm in chaos, ensuring that executives can focus on their strategic objectives. I am recognised for my problem-solving skills and my dedication to upholding the highest standards of confidentiality.

In my current role, I manage a demanding executive calendar, coordinate travel logistics, and oversee a monthly operational budget of USD 60,000. I have developed an internal knowledge hub to streamline employee learning and have successfully conducted a client licensing audit to enhance revenue integrity. My previous experiences have equipped me with strong communication skills and a knack for improving processes, making me a trusted partner to executives and teams alike.
