What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my organizational skills and experience in a dynamic environment, where I can contribute to operational efficiency and client satisfaction.

I am a highly organized and proactive Executive Assistant with extensive experience in managing complex tasks and providing exceptional customer service. My role at Athena has allowed me to significantly improve executive productivity through effective inbox and calendar management, data analysis, and project coordination. I thrive on utilizing technology to streamline processes, enhance productivity, and ensure client satisfaction.

Previously, as a Business Banker at KCB, I gained valuable insights into financing and investment decisions for small and medium enterprises. My ability to build strong relationships with clients and provide tailored solutions has been instrumental in optimizing their financial goals. Additionally, my background in construction management has equipped me with skills in design planning, cost estimation, and adherence to safety protocols, ensuring successful project execution.
