What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Senior Executive Assistant position, like the opportunity at Phunware, where I can use my executive support and calendar management skills to support its mission of achieving unparalleled connectivity and monetization through innovative mobile technologies.

At Fortera Credit Union, I supported the President/CEO, C-suite leaders, and a nine-member board with confidential executive coordination and board-level administrative support. I prepared board materials and minutes, coordinated complex calendars and events, and redesigned workflows to reduce scheduling conflicts and speed up meeting preparation.

At TEGNA, I administered ServiceNow and designed, tested, and implemented workflows and integrations that increased HR platform usage by 20% and reduced administrative workload by 15% within six months. I also supported C-suite travel and calendar coordination, reducing scheduling conflicts by 30%.

At Wounded Warrior Project and Winn-Dixie, I supported legal and executive teams with contracts, board preparation, corporate filings, and event coordination. My experience also includes benefits administration, vendor relationships, and HR systems, alongside tools such as Microsoft Office, Teams, and SharePoint.
