What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages growth, and values innovative ideas.

I am a proactive and highly adaptable executive assistant with a strong commitment to continuous learning and embracing new challenges. My passion lies in assisting and uplifting others, and I bring genuine enthusiasm to acquire fresh ideas and knowledge. As a team player, I focus on supporting my colleagues to collectively achieve our organizational objectives.

In my recent role as Executive Assistant to the CEO at Todlr Inc., I managed all administrative and organizational duties, ensuring effective communication among team members. I played a key role in the growth team, conducting user persona research and managing social media channels. My experience also includes leading people operations at Ladder Financial Systems, where I oversaw recruitment, payroll, and the development of HR policies.

With a background in event management and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Sociology, I possess a unique blend of skills that allow me to excel in dynamic environments. I am dedicated to fostering team unity and enhancing operational efficiency, and I am eager to bring my expertise to a new opportunity.
