What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote/hybrid Operations Coordinator, People Operations, or Project Support role where I can streamline cross-functional workflows, manage administrative systems, and coordinate vendor/stakeholder logistics.

I have spent the last 8+ years leading complex operations, scheduling logistics, and administrative support across higher education and non-profit environments, including Drake University, Creighton University, and Briar Cliff University.

My background centers on operational clarity behind the scenes: managing multi-stakeholder project timelines, conducting inventory and financial reconciliations, coordinating external vendor contracts, and tracking compliance across systems like Workday, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365.

I excel in asynchronous, highly organized environments where clean documentation, proactive communication, and methodical problem-solving keep teams aligned and workflows running smoothly. Ready for global remote operations, project coordination, and people-support roles.
