What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote administration and operations roles where I can support executives and keep day-to-day processes running smoothly—handling procurement, budgets, vendors, and coordinated events with discretion and strong organization.

I’m a results-driven operations and administrative professional with over 30 years’ experience in hospitality, corporate services, and diplomatic environments. I’m known for being highly organized, discreet, and dependable—especially when the work requires flawless coordination.

As a Residence Administrator for the Official Residence of the Ambassador of Brazil, I coordinated all day-to-day operations, managed staff, and oversaw procurement, budgets, suppliers, and maintenance services. I also organized official receptions and high-level events, ensuring the residence operated smoothly and presented at the highest standard.

Earlier, I worked as a Technical Advisor for Food Services Operations, monitoring outsourced operations for quality, hygiene, and budget control. I also served as Deputy Director, strengthening my leadership through team supervision and operational oversight—skills I’m excited to bring to remote administration, operations, and executive support roles.
