What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a relationship-first role where I can own client experiences, grow strategic partnerships, and support executives end to end—independently or remotely—while protecting confidentiality and driving clear outcomes.

I’m a relationship-driven founder with 15+ years across client experience, strategic partnerships, and executive-level business support. For nearly a decade, I built and ran a wellness startup as the sole partnership manager and head of client success, personally owning every client relationship and confidential communication with no team to delegate to.

I’ve grown long-term client relationships across five U.S. states and two countries through attentive follow-up and a referral-driven approach. I’ve also managed 20+ brand partnership relationships—negotiating, building pitch and sales decks, and advising founders and CEOs directly on partnership structure and wellness programming strategy.

My work goes beyond coordination: I deliver public speaking and educational facilitation for groups of up to 75. Through 25+ retreats, workshops, and training events, I’ve developed structured learning materials, including an instructional manual built from years of research.

I bring strong operations and discretion from both startup ownership and formal executive support experience. As an Executive Assistant, Parent Liaison & Retreat Coordinator, I supported leadership and coordinated retreats end-to-end across multiple stakeholders—complemented by Marine Corps training in composure under pressure and careful information handling.
