About Me

I am a highly organized executive support and customer service professional with a proven track record of assisting C-suite executives by managing calendars, emails, travel, and daily operations. What truly drives me is the opportunity to streamline workflows and remove friction from people's day-to-day tasks. I genuinely enjoy making leaders more productive so they can focus on what matters most. My career has spanned executive support, sales, and operations, and I bring a unique blend of analytical thinking from my background in Mechanical Engineering and a hands-on, tech-forward approach to problem-solving. I thrive on organization, collaboration, and continuous improvement, not just for my own growth, but to genuinely make a difference for the people and teams I support.

Industry Experience

Early Career Inspiration

My career path wasn't a straight line, and I think that's what makes it interesting. Studying Mechanical Engineering taught me how to think systematically and solve problems analytically. But after graduating, I realized I enjoyed working with people, building relationships, and driving results on the ground. Instead of going the traditional engineering route, I leaned into sales and client-facing roles, starting in travel where I could connect with people and craft meaningful experiences. My journey was inspired by a desire to keep growing and learning, taking on roles that taught me something new and allowed me to make a tangible impact.
