What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-first team where I can own calendar and inbox operations for senior leaders, improve processes with SOPs, and use AI-assisted productivity to drive measurable efficiency across time zones.

I’m a results-driven Executive Assistant with 3+ years of experience supporting C-suite leadership in fast-paced, remote-first environments. I protect executive time through proactive prioritization, buffer-blocking, and precise calendar management across multiple time zones, while keeping confidential matters handled with discretion.

Across my roles, I’ve streamlined executive inbox operations (including triaging 50+ emails daily and reducing response time from 48 hours to under 6 hours), coordinated complex travel logistics, and turned recurring work into documented workflows and SOPs (10+ workflows documented; a reusable SOP library). I also drive measurable operational efficiency—maintaining cross-functional project deadline adherence above 95% and using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude AI to cut document preparation time by an estimated 40%, improving both speed and quality.
