Committed, resilient, supportive, driven, and understanding are key components that make up the core of who I am. My exceptional capabilities have allowed me to oversee business processes, prepare operational reports, analyze financial data, empower others, continuously evolve and develop long-lasting relationships.

I have held positions that required time management skills, day-to-day operational support, attention to detail, staff development, and quality internal and external service. I thrive on problem-solving, analyzing data, supporting others, and taking on new challenges. I owned and operated a successful independent event-planning company between 2014– 2020. I'm not afraid of taking risks when I know the reward is great. I set a goal, focus on it and attain it. 

Committed, resilient, supportive, driven, and understanding

An exuberant personality, a business-oriented mentality, and a will to take on new challenges are three key elements that describe me. I navigate through life with a can-do attitude and choose to look at the glass as half-full especially when taking on new projects.

I am a master in MS Office, Google Workplace (formally GSuite), account reconciliation, and calendar and people management. My ability to adapt to change is one of my top qualities. My experience in my current and previous roles has allowed me to oversee business processes, prepare operational reports, analyze financial data, empower others, continuously evolve, and develop long-lasting relationships. And to top it off, I have both strong financial acumen and administrative skills. 

My ultimate goal is to be a solution before there is a problem and to create peace of mind for my team.
