What I'm looking for

I seek a role leveraging administrative expertise and technical tools in a collaborative, service-oriented organization where I can streamline operations, support teams, and grow into expanded coordination or operations responsibilities.

I am a dynamic administrative specialist with decades of experience in administration, customer service, project management, and communication, focused on delivering seamless business operations.

I leverage strong technical proficiency with tools like ClickUp, Asana, Slack, Canva, Microsoft and Adobe suites, WordPress, QuickBooks, NetSuite, and web conferencing platforms to enable efficient remote collaboration and data management.

My background spans marketing assistance, purchasing and inventory reconciliation, laboratory coordination, and high-volume administrative support across academic, corporate, and hospitality environments, with accomplishments in process improvements, supplier negotiation, and data system creation.

I am service-oriented, detail-focused, and adept at building positive working relationships with diverse teams while supervising trainees and producing polished deliverables to meet organizational goals.
