What I'm looking for

I'm looking to support leaders and teams through executive coordination, operational improvement, client relationship management, and high-quality service delivery in a fast-paced environment.

I've supported client relationships, operations, and event delivery across catering, architecture, and academic subscription businesses.

At Rita's Catering, I generated $1.4M in first-year revenue and $750K in repeat business, then $1.8M in my second year with nearly $1M in repeat business. I managed end-to-end client engagements for high-profile events of up to 550 guests.

At MyJoVE, I managed 200+ client accounts, coordinated academic stakeholder meetings, and exceeded performance targets by 25–50%. At Wolfgang Puck Catering, I oversaw logistics for 400+ annual events and generated up to $1.5M annually.

Currently, I support the Principal Architect at David Sharff Architect by managing calendars, invoices, proposals, tracking spreadsheets, and marketing and vendor databases. I bring discretion, organized communication, and practical operational follow-through to fast-paced teams.
