What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior-level role providing high-touch executive support and strategic operations, with opportunities to lead events and process improvements in a collaborative, mission-driven organization.

I am a discreet, reliable, and resourceful Executive Assistant with 20+ years supporting senior leadership across consulting, academia, telecom, and banking. I specialize in complex travel planning, calendar optimization, board-level presentation preparation, and large-scale event execution while coaching and empowering teams to drive operational excellence.

Throughout my career I have supported board members, deans, VPs and large teams, led workflow improvements, managed grants and budgets, and coordinated high-profile events and security initiatives. I bring proven cross-functional agility, experience with SAP and document control, and a commitment to accessibility and quality in executive support.
