About

My approach to this role is rooted in the belief that execution and relationship-building are the foundation of success. With 14 years + of experience as an Executive Assistant, I’ve learned that the best in this role excel not just by tactful execution, but by building strong, strategic relationships within every single interaction. I pride myself on being able to meld both in order to succeed AND ensure my execs succeed. In a previous role, I had the opportunity to lead an EA team mentoring them to enhance their skills and ensuring cohesive support across the executive team. I am passionate about EA development, as well as sharing and creating resources for EA teams. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside top executives in tech and fashion, expertly managing schedules & intricate travel, coordinating multi-million-dollar internal and corporate events, and serving as liaison across departments. I’ve streamlined administrative processes, reduced operational inefficiencies, and enhanced productivity through innovative solutions—all while fostering strong relationships that drive collaboration and trust. I’m known for being quick, proactive, resourceful, and adaptable. These qualities have allowed me to anticipate needs, solve problems before they arise, and contribute meaningfully to the overall success of the organization. My dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence have made me not just a support figure, but a trusted partner who understands the importance of both getting things done and cultivating the relationships that make it all possible.
