What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role where I apply legal expertise and administrative skills, contribute to client-centred services, grow in human rights, IP or ADR, and work in an inclusive, dynamic organization that values professional development.

I am an experienced Administrative Professional with a background in law, executive support, and client relations. Over the past several years, I have successfully supported U.S.-based companies in virtual roles, managing operations, coordinating teams, and strengthening client relationships. My expertise includes executive-level administrative assistance, customer service, calendar and project management, and operational support for growing organizations.

I bring excellent communication skills, strong organizational abilities, and a proven track record of thriving in fast-paced, remote environments. I am passionate about building positive client experiences, supporting leadership teams, and contributing to organizational growth. I am now seeking remote or hybrid opportunities where I can leverage my skills to provide high-quality administrative and account management support while continuing to grow professionally in an international environment.
