At DFW Custom Renovations, I manage the CEO’s calendar, correspondence, and domestic and international travel. I also prepare executive materials and coordinate board meetings and company events.

I support budgeting and expense management, and assist with mergers and acquisitions through document management and due-diligence activities. My work also includes researching industry trends, competitors, investment opportunities, and potential partnerships.

Earlier, I provided executive and office support at Metroplex Realty, Farmers Insurance Group, and ChoicePoint, and managed store operations at Bebe Stores, Inc. I also provided caregiving support at Homestead Senior Living.
