What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote role supporting executives with discreet, high-stakes operations—complex calendar and inbox management, international travel coordination, and process automation—where I can maintain precision under pressure and help leadership move faster.

I’m a proactive, highly organized Executive Assistant with 2+ years of experience delivering high-level administrative support to executives and business owners across U.S. and European time zones. I manage complex calendars, handle C-suite correspondence and gatekeeper functions, and coordinate end-to-end international travel with precision—maintaining confidentiality and zero scheduling conflicts.

I also strengthen decision-making and operations by preparing research reports, competitor analyses, and executive briefings, while streamlining repetitive workflows through automation using Zapier and AI-powered productivity tools. From leading centralized booking and operations tracking to coordinating events, retreats, and vendor logistics, I’m known for anticipating needs before they arise and keeping fast-moving teams aligned.
