What I'm looking for
I am an experienced Executive and Personal Assistant with over eight years supporting C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, and high-profile clients across remote and in-person environments. I specialize in calendar and email management, financial bookkeeping, HR coordination, logistics, and confidential client account administration, and I consistently deliver proactive, discreet operational support under NDAs.
I have a proven record of improving operational efficiency—redesigning delivery routes to cut costs, streamlining onboarding and payroll processes, and managing complex travel and event logistics. I am adaptable across industries, proficient with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Trello, Slack, and Zoom, and I thrive as a trusted partner who autonomously manages both professional and personal workflows.
