What I'm looking for
I’m an executive administrative assistant with 5 years of experience supporting C-suite leaders and senior managers in fast-paced engineering, SaaS, ecommerce and tech environments. I specialize in calendar management across multiple time zones, streamlining documentation processes, and building digital systems that eliminate inefficiencies and save teams valuable time.
I’m known for creating coherence in complex work situations, and I thrive in remote and global environments serving teams across the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom and the EMEA region. Highlights include automating 60% of repetitive admin tasks with Make.com, Zapier, Google Workspace and Excel Macros; building centralized workspaces on SharePoint, Google Drive and Trello; and streamlining invoicing by integrating QuickBooks with Asana—cutting processing time by 50% and improving collections by 30%.
