What I'm looking for

I seek a role providing executive-level administrative support within higher education or similarly complex organizations, emphasizing governance, records management, and process improvement.

I am an experienced administrative professional with over a decade supporting organizational leaders in higher education, managing complex calendars, confidential records, and governance processes. At the University of Washington I administer faculty elections, maintain official records, coordinate executive-level meetings, and produce data-driven reports to inform decision-making.

I combine strong customer-service skills with technical proficiency in Microsoft Office, Google Suite, Zoom, and WordPress, and a track record of streamlining procedures to improve productivity and compliance. I am adaptable, detail-oriented, and committed to clear communication and inclusive support across diverse stakeholder groups.
