What I'm looking for

I seek a communications or executive-support role where I can lead outreach, manage speaker/influencer programs, support events, and use data-driven engagement in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

I am an Executive Assistant and Communications specialist with more than 20 years' experience across journalism, PR, and stakeholder engagement, delivering high-impact outreach and community-building campaigns.

I have built and managed extensive speaker, partner, and influencer databases, coordinated high-profile events, and produced editorial content for national TV and digital outlets while mentoring junior staff.

Technically proficient with Google Suite, Google Sheets, Slack, WhatsApp, Canva, MS Office, Adobe Premiere and social analytics, I thrive in fast-paced international environments and am open to remote worldwide roles.
