What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a proactive and results-driven Executive Assistant with over 20 years of experience in operations, sales coordination, and executive support across multinational and startup environments. My exceptional organizational and problem-solving skills, combined with a strong foundation in administrative support and process optimization, have allowed me to excel in managing executive calendars, overseeing project timelines, and improving internal systems.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to support cross-functional teams effectively. I have successfully collaborated with sales and marketing departments to develop strategies that enhance productivity and client relationships. My bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish, along with my tech-savviness, enables me to navigate diverse environments and utilize tools such as Google Workspace and Monday.com to drive operational excellence.
