I am an experienced Executive Assistant with a strong track record of supporting C-suite executives in dynamic environments. At ITABOX STUDIOS, I established the foundational blueprint for the Executive Assistant role, driving operational effectiveness and strategic execution across various departments. My ability to manage complex calendars, coordinate high-stakes meetings, and optimize tools like Notion and Trello has significantly enhanced productivity and accountability within the organization.

Previously, I provided administrative and operational support to the CEO and COO at Suburban Fiber Company, where I played a pivotal role in developing and executing strategic plans. My experience includes managing diverse operational tasks, facilitating team events, and ensuring seamless communication across departments. I am passionate about creating streamlined systems that enhance organizational efficiency and employee satisfaction.
