What I'm looking for

I am looking for a position where I can deliver high-level administrative support within a collaborative, mission-focused organization. My goal is to enhance operational efficiency, organize events, refine and complete reports, and proactively address challenges before they arise

I am an experienced executive assistant with a long track record of providing comprehensive support to senior leaders in both academic and international settings. I excel at streamlining communication, managing intricate schedules, and coordinating logistics and events that allow executives to focus on strategic goals.

I am skilled at managing large volumes of correspondence, preparing accurate reports, and improving response times through effective workflow organization. I proactively anticipate needs and address challenges to maintain seamless and efficient office operations.

My experience includes coordinating faculty processes, managing council elections, overseeing student petitions, and organizing major academic events with accuracy and timeliness. I am known for exercising discretion with sensitive information, effectively balancing multiple priorities, and building strong, collaborative relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.

I continually seek opportunities to enhance efficiency through process improvements and the thoughtful use of conversational AI and workflow automation tools. Above all, I am dedicated to providing dependable, results-driven support that helps institutions achieve their strategic objectives.
