My strong background spans both public and private sectors, where I have honed my skills in streamlining processes, managing executive tasks, and recruiting and training talent.

Throughout my career, I have implemented digital tools for efficiency and impact, excelling in calendar and email management, project coordination, and HR functions such as recruitment and employee relations. I am adept at minute-taking, stakeholder communication, and utilizing collaborative platforms like Trello, Asana, Google Workspace, and Zoom to enhance productivity and collaboration.
