About

As a Senior Executive Assistant and certified Project Management Professional (PMP®), I bring over 14 years of experience supporting senior executives with precision, discretion, and strategic foresight. Most recently at Dell Technologies, I've spent more than a decade partnering with multiple Vice Presidents in the Global Marketing organization — ensuring their focus stays on high-impact goals while I manage the operational and logistical complexities that keep everything moving. My core strengths include complex calendar and travel management across global time zones, executive communications, onsite and virtual event planning, and cross-functional stakeholder coordination. I'm known for anticipating needs before they arise, building strong relationships at every level of the organization, and maintaining calm and clarity in high-pressure environments. Earning my PMP certification has formalized a skillset I've been applying throughout my career — stakeholder alignment, risk mitigation, milestone tracking, integrated change management, and delivering outcomes that move the business forward. I apply structured project management thinking to everything I touch, from executive-level events and communications rollouts to team-wide process improvements and operational initiatives. I've also been exploring the integration of AI tools into executive operations — experimenting with custom workflows and automation to reduce administrative overhead and create more space for strategic work. It's an area I'm genuinely curious about and continuing to develop. I hold a BA from The University of Texas at Austin and am passionate about supporting visionary leaders, driving meaningful initiatives, and operating at the intersection of people, process, and technology.
