What I'm looking for

I seek a role supporting senior leadership where I can streamline operations, manage executive support, lead events, and drive process improvements in a collaborative culture.

I am an executive assistant and business administration professional with 16+ years supporting C-suite leaders, founders, and senior executives across nonprofit and corporate environments. I specialize in complex calendar management, domestic and international travel coordination, and seamless office and remote operations.

Throughout my career I've driven operational efficiency and cost savings by implementing process improvements—most recently delivering $35,000+ in annual cost reductions at Center Lake Bible Camp. I regularly manage payroll, invoicing, donor and CRM systems, and financial tracking to support leadership decision-making.

I have extensive experience planning large events and virtual conferences, coordinating cross-functional teams, and serving as a primary point of contact for stakeholders, guests, contractors, and volunteers. I anticipate executive needs and build systems that increase leadership capacity for strategic priorities.

I am dependable, detail-oriented, and collaborative, with proven skills in grant writing, HR onboarding, audit coordination, and remote team leadership. I partner closely with leadership to define priorities, track deadlines, and maintain operational continuity across organizations.
