What I'm looking for

I’m looking to partner with CEOs/C‑suite in high-growth environments—owning executive operations, automation, and cross-functional execution—so leadership bandwidth is protected and priorities land without friction.

I’m a Senior Executive Assistant with 15 years of experience partnering directly with CEOs and C-suite leaders to drive business momentum. I specialize in managing the complexities of high-growth environments by blending hands-on operational leadership with modern technical strategies.

I optimize executive support through proactive calendar management, global travel logistics, time-blocking, and conflict resolution—always protecting leadership bandwidth. In crises or high-stakes situations, I bring a calm, data-informed approach to crisis management and stakeholder relations.

My background includes authorized proxy responsibilities for executive approvals in SAP Concur and Paylocity, processing expense reports totaling over $15,000 per month, and administering SAP Concur with training to reduce expense-reporting errors. I’ve also served as a Salesforce Administrator, improving data integrity, training users, and enhancing reporting capabilities.

I lead cross-functional execution—drafting and editing executive communications, managing internal leadership hubs (SharePoint intranet), coordinating Town Halls and off-sites, and streamlining workflows like visitor sign-in compliance. I’m energized by roles that combine executive operations, digital strategy, and project/event coordination to keep teams moving without friction.
