SUMMARY

I’m an administrative professional who’s passionate about keeping a busy leader and his or her team on schedule, equipped and informed to get through their day smoothly and without unnecessary distractions.  I’m experienced at booking domestic and international travel, maintaining challenging calendars, handling confidential information and treating clients like A-list stars, both on the phone and face-to-face.  I’m proactive about taking the minutiae off the desks of overbooked executives and being the best on-the-job stress relief any leader can have.
