What I'm looking for

I seek a role providing executive-level administrative support and operational/security coordination, with opportunities to automate workflows, ensure compliance, and grow in responsibility.

I am an experienced Administrator and Executive Virtual Assistant with 4+ years supporting C-level executives and managing secure operations across hospitality and security environments. I combine discretion, efficiency, and adaptability to streamline workflows and protect sensitive information.

My background includes access control, CCTV monitoring, incident reporting, emergency coordination, calendar and travel management, and workflow automation. I have a track record of measurable improvements—reducing unauthorized access incidents by 35%, improving audit pass rates by 50%, and cutting travel/vendor costs by 15%.

I hold certifications including Salesforce Platform Foundations, Certified Workflow Specialist (Asana), and Certified Virtual Assistant, and I’m pursuing a B.Sc. in Hospitality and Tourism Management. I seek roles where I can apply security-minded administration, process automation, and proactive executive support to drive operational excellence.
