@emmaleilanicastro
I’m an Executive Assistant and former Senior Flight Attendant who delivers confidential leadership support and operational efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Executive Assistant with over 12 years of leadership and operations experience from a major international airline. I’ve supported the President of Maxima Machineries Inc. by managing executive priorities, coordinating cross-functional initiatives, and ensuring smooth daily operations with confidentiality at the core.
In my current role, I deliver high-level executive and administrative support—managing calendars, meetings, and international/local travel arrangements, preparing correspondence, reports, and presentations, and documenting executive minutes. I also monitor deadlines, track action items, and support strategic projects and corporate events, collaborating with the Marketing Communications Team on customer-facing programs and appreciation nights.
Previously, as a Saudia Airlines International Flight Attendant and Senior FA, I handled VIP and Royal guests, stepped in as a Cabin Manager when unavailable, and maintained strong service flow and passenger support in Economy YC. I also bring teaching experience as an instructor at the Canadian Tourism and Hospitality Institute (CTHI), where I handled Airline Industry, World Destinations, and International Fare Structures, mentoring students pursuing careers in aviation.
