What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative role supporting executives or event operations where I can manage logistics, improve processes, and contribute to investor- and client-facing initiatives.

I am a personable, highly organized executive support professional with 4+ years of experience supporting executives and cross-functional teams in fast-paced environments. I combine strong communication, sound judgment, and discretion to manage shifting priorities, confidential matters, and tight deadlines.

I have led day-of event logistics, investor-facing activations, and executive scheduling while creating polished decks and reports used in leadership and investor communications. My work has included boosting LinkedIn engagement by 157% and serving as a trusted liaison among legal, sales, operations, vendors, and VIP clients.

I bring process-improvement skills, SOP development experience, and proficiency with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, CRM tools, Slack, and Canva. I am collaborative, solutions-oriented, and committed to supporting leadership with professionalism and attention to detail.
