What I'm looking for

I seek a role providing strategic executive support to C-suite leaders, with opportunities to shape operating rhythms, lead cross-functional initiatives, and strengthen board and stakeholder engagement in a mission-driven organization.

I am an Executive Business Partner and strategic operator with 10+ years supporting CEOs and executive leadership in high-growth and mission-driven organizations. I serve as a trusted right hand focused on enabling leaders to concentrate on strategy, growth, and external impact.

I specialize in driving operating rhythms, complex calendar management, executive thought partnership, and cross-functional project coordination. I coordinate board and executive leadership meetings end-to-end, prepare executive briefs and presentations, and manage sensitive correspondence with discretion.

Across legal services, corporate, health plan, and nonprofit environments, I have led process improvements that increased efficiency and strengthened leadership cadence. I partner closely with senior leadership, finance, HR, development, legal, and operations to advance organizational priorities and execute high-impact initiatives.

I hold an MBA from Molloy College and a B.A. in Psychology from Medgar Evers College, and I leverage tools such as Outlook, Google Workspace, PowerPoint, Excel, Slack, Workday, Concur, DocuSign, and project platforms like Asana and Trello to deliver reliable, high-impact executive support.
