What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply executive-level administrative skills, support operations and communications, and grow in a collaborative, mission-driven organization; remote or hybrid during relocation.

I am a highly organized administrative professional with over 15 years of experience providing executive-level support, managing operations, and ensuring compliance across nonprofit and business organizations. I have a track record of improving documentation, reporting, travel reconciliation, grant support, and records management while coordinating teams and stakeholders.

I run a consulting practice delivering administrative services, website and digital communications management, and organizational support, and I have led membership, advertising, and business development functions for chambers and homecare agencies. I communicate clearly, work independently, and am prepared to relocate or perform remote work until relocation is complete.
