Welcome!

It is nice to "meet" you!

I truly enjoy executive support and have an array of experience that could be very useful to your practice.

I seek to grow my career, providing support to a great team of dynamic people, within an innovative company for years to come.

I look forward to sharing more about me... and learning more about your organization!

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
  A Few Traits...

   
         

Every new task or project has the potential to have obstacles. I approach new tasks methodically, breaking down more complex tasks, and analyzing them from varying angles, anticipating or understanding the obstacles to develop a practical solution or approach of manageable components, defining a series of action items.

Experience is a great teacher, and I also approach challenges with an open mindset, gathering practical data and utilizing creative thinking. I enjoy streamlining my processes and finding greater efficiency wherever I can. Even in the simple tasks...

 

Thinking out of the box allows me to identify opportunities for improvement and forward-thinking approaches that can enhance productivity, streamline processes, and deliver impactful results. I am open to remaining adaptable and able to work well within an established structure, while also contributing constructive ideas.

I bring creative perspective in general, and especially in presentation development which can be a common need, whether it is in tailoring a previous concept, or developing something new.

 

I enjoy collaboration with my team and working in an envorinment which values both the individuals and the concept of a "team".

I am highly effective at providing support to my team by being approachable, attentive, and always lending a hand when needed. I am open to diversity of ideas and colaboration. My ability to adapt to different team dynamics allows me to foster a positive, productive environment and optimal output.

Overall, we are all working individually and together on a product or quality of service which needs to reflect well upon the whole team.
