Summary

I am a self-starting Executive Assistant/HR Generalist with exceptional communication skills and a proven leadership style. My career has equipped me with the ability to not only identify but also effectively resolve issues in collaboration with senior leaders and peers. I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments that challenge me daily, and my unparalleled organizational and multi-tasking abilities enable me to excel under pressure without ever missing a deadline.

Throughout my professional journey, I have navigated a diverse range of office environments, taking on roles that span from reception and data entry to Executive Assistant, HR Generalist, Office Manager, and Director of Operations. In addition, I have honed my skills in planning and coordinating events for over 500 guests and efficiently managing all aspects of booking travel, lodging, and excursions for VIP wine tours, both domestically and internationally.

One of my proudest achievements has been my impact on employee retention in an industry known for its challenges in this area. By implementing strategic initiatives, I successfully reduced absences by an impressive 49% and lowered turnover rates by 17%. These achievements have been accomplished alongside my core responsibilities of maintaining impeccable calendar management for four executives, emphasizing my commitment to excellence in every aspect of my work.

I am driven by a passion for achieving results, promoting synergy within teams, and exceeding expectations. My ability to adapt, coupled with a relentless commitment to excellence, has been integral to my success, and I look forward to leveraging these skills to contribute to the continued success of any future endeavor.
