What I'm looking for

I seek a fully remote, globally minded role in executive operations, people strategy, or strategic program management that emphasizes cross-cultural collaboration, high-level executive partnership, and opportunities to lead organizational transformation.

I am an accomplished Executive Assistant and Chief of Staff with over a decade of experience supporting CEOs, C-Suite executives, and Boards of Directors across financial services, corporate, and nonprofit sectors. My expertise spans board governance, executive operations, and strategic event planning, with a proven ability to manage complex projects, streamline processes, and provide seamless high-level support. At Together Credit Union, I orchestrate board and committee meetings, coordinate large-scale executive retreats, and serve as a trusted liaison between leadership and stakeholders.

My career has been defined by my ability to anticipate needs, manage sensitive priorities with discretion, and create alignment across teams. I have led initiatives in governance reporting, compliance oversight, and organizational strategy, while also coordinating global travel, vendor negotiations, and corporate communications. Proficient in Microsoft 365, Diligent Boards, SurveyMonkey, and enterprise collaboration platforms, I excel at creating structure in high-pressure environments and enabling executives to focus on what matters most.

Beyond my professional role, I am passionate about travel, photography, and storytelling. I co-run a creative media business specializing in photography and videography, where I blend strategic operations with creative direction. This balance between business leadership and creativity has sharpened my perspective, making me adaptable, innovative, and driven to deliver meaningful impact in every environment I work in.
