Proactive Executive Assistant skilled in project and administrative support.
What I'm looking for
I am a proactive and highly organized Executive Assistant with extensive experience supporting senior leaders in dynamic environments. My expertise lies in managing complex calendars, streamlining internal communication, and coordinating high-stakes meetings. I excel in handling confidential information and preparing executive reports, ensuring operational clarity in every task I undertake.
In my recent role as a Freelance Executive Assistant, I managed inboxes and calendars for multiple executives, flagging high-priority communications and drafting responses to enhance decision-making. I also created and maintained digital task boards to track ongoing tasks and designed shared digital filing systems that significantly reduced turnaround time for file retrieval. My background in IT administrative support further complements my project coordination skills, allowing me to thrive in tech-enabled settings.
