What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values organization and supports executive teams effectively.

As an Executive Assistant with over six years of experience, I have honed my skills in providing high-level support to executives in fast-paced environments. Currently, I serve at Eight Roads Ventures, where I manage complex calendars, travel arrangements, and communications for senior partners. My role involves meticulous planning and execution of events, ensuring every detail aligns with our strategic goals.

Previously, I worked as an Office Manager and Executive Assistant at Williams Pitt International Limited, where I implemented key HR functions and managed office operations. My experience spans various industries, including venture capital and hospitality, where I developed strong organizational skills and a keen eye for detail. I am passionate about fostering positive work environments and enhancing team collaboration through effective communication and event planning.
