What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role that values discretion and strategic operations, offering opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am an Executive Assistant and Operations Lead with over 15 years of experience supporting C-level leaders in luxury real estate, design, and hospitality. My career has been marked by my role as the right hand to a boutique NYC developer, where I oversaw complex renovations, managed vendor relations, and ensured exceptional guest care. My expertise in calendar management, logistics, procurement, and high-touch client communication has allowed me to thrive in fast-paced environments.

Throughout my career, I have directed over 15 historic property renovations, significantly improved guest experiences, and managed procurement for over 1,500 antiques, all while reducing costs and delays. As the Founder and Creative Director of YFarm, I designed and delivered over 200 plant installations for luxury clients, cultivating long-term partnerships that increased repeat orders. My commitment to excellence and adaptability has consistently driven successful outcomes in every project I undertake.
