Strategic executive assistant and emerging chief of staff who builds scalable systems for C-suite decision-making.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Strategic Executive Assistant and emerging Chief of Staff with over seven years of experience providing comprehensive C-suite support and driving executive operations. I focus on complex calendar management, inbox architecture, and ensuring confidentiality and discretion while keeping leadership operating at full capacity.
Across contract engagements, I’ve overhauled executive operations by designing decision-ready briefings, synthesizing reporting, and addressing operational bottlenecks early. I partner with founders and C-suite leaders to maximize executive energy allocation and sharpen strategic prioritization around key business objectives.
I’m especially effective at implementing workflow automation and process optimization. I’ve engineered automation frameworks using Make.com and n8n to streamline multi-departmental processes, reduce friction, and improve speed and clarity in cross-functional execution.
In marketing and leadership support roles, I’ve led events and marketing operations and strengthened content and approval pipelines for consistent, compliant delivery. I’ve also demonstrated measurable impact—like reducing an executive inbox from 4,000+ to under 1,000 emails in one month through labeling, prioritization, and workflow design.
