Summary

As an Executive Assistant skilled at offering high-level administrative support to senior-level staff, I thrive in a creative, fast-paced environment. I am dependable, have strong attention to detail, and my work ethic is to "prevent fires from starting" as opposed to putting them out through exceptional communication and organizational skills.

I enjoy being part of a team as well as working independently, and am extremely productive in either capacity. I am able to plan ahead and prioritize tasks. I am self-motivated, reliable, an independent thinker, and love working with a diverse group of people.
