What I'm looking for

I seek a remote-first role providing executive support and talent acquisition leadership where I can optimize processes, support C-suite priorities, and scale hiring with strong collaboration and measurable outcomes.

I am a seasoned executive assistant and founder who builds remote-first administrative and recruiting operations that keep leadership focused on strategic priorities. As President of Admin Apto, Inc., I lead hiring strategy, candidate sourcing, interview logistics, offer management, and recruiting metrics to deliver aligned, timely hires.

I provide high-touch executive support across calendar and priority management, communications, travel, expense coordination, and confidential matters, with hands-on experience in project support, vendor management, and board presentation logistics. I have supported executives at startups and scale-ups and have operated as a placement partner delivering excellent candidate experiences.

I bring strong operational discipline, HR and workforce planning expertise, and proficiency with Office 365, Google Workspace, Concur, Salesforce, QuickBooks Online, Slack, Trello, and collaboration platforms to drive process improvement, pipeline development, and measurable recruiting outcomes.
