What I'm looking for

I seek a senior executive support or hospitality leadership role in a high-end, international environment where discretion, organization and bilingual communication are valued.

I am an experienced executive personal assistant and hospitality professional with over 20 years working in Parisian and international luxury hotels and for corporate headquarters. I combine rigorous confidentiality, strict time management and bilingual French/English communication to support senior executives effectively.

My background includes long-term roles as Executive Personal Assistant and General Manager support at 5-star hotels and as a CEO assistant at agencies and large corporations. I have overseen complex confidential diaries, organized international symposiums, managed VIP relations and provided high-level customer service.

I bring practical skills in Microsoft Office, leadership and management, event and tasting organization from my recent role as oenologist/cavistant and barmaid, complemented by strong adaptability, creative thinking and discretion. I am comfortable with intensive learning, advising clients and handling specialized guest needs.

Outside administrative and hospitality duties, I am an author, filmmaker and trained actress with artistic certifications and published novels, which reinforce my communication, presentation and interpersonal strengths. I seek roles where I can apply my executive support expertise within a high-end, international environment.
