What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role where I can leverage my skills in business operations and project management to drive efficiency and support executive teams in achieving their goals.

I am a Strategic Executive Assistant with 2 years of C-level support experience and over 5 years in business operations, marketing, and project coordination. My background allows me to build systems, streamline execution, and drive team alignment effectively. I leverage my marketing expertise and fluency in AI tools to optimize workflows and enhance executive productivity.

In my recent role as a Business Operations Specialist at Oceans XYZ, I supported a serial founder in the AI and SaaS space, where I implemented systems that improved service consistency and reclaimed significant time for strategic work. I thrive in fast-paced environments, consistently anticipating needs and delivering results that exceed expectations.
