What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own executive-level administrative support and operations—handling confidential records, optimizing scheduling and processes, coordinating teams and vendors, and driving compliance and operational excellence with clear leadership partnership.

I’m an executive administrative & operations professional and business administration graduate with progressive leadership experience supporting organizational operations, executive decision-making, personnel management, and administrative functions across childcare, retail, and small business environments.

I’ve led day-to-day operations as a store manager, salon manager, and owner/operator—maintaining compliance standards, managing confidential records, coordinating scheduling, and supporting teams with process improvement. Currently, I support administrative operations for a childcare organization serving more than 200 children, and I’m pursuing an MBA focused on executive support, organizational leadership, and operational excellence.
