Summary

I excel in supporting executives so they can do what they do best, without worry or concern over administrative matters. I can manage multiple projects, I'm a great event planner and, as a skilled copywriter, excel at written and verbal communication, so your correspondence will always be appropriate and correct in quality and tone. Closely working with pastoral executives taught me the importance of confidentiality, grace, and sound judgment. I am a fast learner who likes to get things done, and see people succeed.
