What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to support senior leadership with calendar management, travel coordination, meeting preparation, and confidential communication. I aim to anticipate executive needs and manage competing priorities with professionalism and discretion.

At Apex Ventures, I provided administrative support to the CEO and senior leadership team, managing calendars, correspondence, and daily priorities.

I coordinated meetings across time zones and handled executive inboxes, travel arrangements, reports, presentations, and board materials. My scheduling work reduced conflicts and improved executive time management by an estimated 20%.

At the Youth Leadership Initiative, I provided remote administrative support for workshops and events, coordinating schedules and communications with mentors, volunteers, parents, and partner organizations.

I also prepared program materials, maintained participant records, and supported event planning and research. My training through ALX covered executive assistance, project management, and productivity tools including Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Slack, Trello, and Asana.
