What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Executive Assistant and Operations Coordinator with 10+ years of progressive experience supporting C-suite executives and senior leadership across nonprofit, education, and consulting environments.
I excel at managing complex, cross-timezone communications and calendars—coordinating everything from executive schedules to confidential correspondence across UK, US, Canadian, and European time zones.
In my roles, I’ve owned executive-level travel logistics (including end-to-end itineraries) and led operational coordination through tools like ClickUp, Slack, Trello, and Zoho CRM—turning scattered priorities into clear execution.
I’m especially proud of building accountability and improving team workflows: I’ve supervised and mentored administrative teams, streamlined internal processes, and supported multi-priority projects under tight deadlines—all while staying trusted with sensitive information.
