What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue supporting senior leaders in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment where I can lead executive operations, improve processes, coordinate strategic initiatives, and contribute beyond administrative support through research, analysis, and business operations.

At Truist, I serve as the primary administrative and strategic partner to the COO of TEMPO, managing executive operations, complex calendars, travel, leadership meetings, and executive-ready briefing materials.

Previously, I supported Truist's CIO through enterprise technology initiatives, quarterly technology reviews, and cross-functional planning with infrastructure, cybersecurity, and product teams. I bring discretion to confidential information while tracking IT program milestones, drafting executive communications, and aligning competing priorities.

I've also mentored administrative staff, managed budgets for executive events and offsites, and improved executive-office processes. My background in market research, branding, data analysis, and business operations adds strategic value beyond traditional administrative support.
