BIO:

I am dynamic and detail-oriented, with extensive experience in leadership development, strategy formation, conflict resolution, and multi-faceted administration. In a previous EA position, I independently planned and led a 3-month overseas trip for 25 individuals. This ignited my joy for juggling logistical and relational dynamics and finding a way to merge the two. I have a high value for efficiency and intentionality, in addition to a deep care for the individuals I am serving.

EXPERIENCE:

I have 2+ years of experience in high-level administrative assistant roles, supporting clients mainly in church ministry.

HOW I COMMUNICATE:

I have a high value for comfortability and trust within working relationships. I like to believe the best about my clients and know that they feel the same about me. Developing this dynamic is important for me over time. I am a very logical thinker, and lists are incredibly beneficial for me. I am a fast-paced executer, and I appreciate knowing expectations of me within meetings (e.g. do you want me to help you execute these ideas or do you need someone to ideate with and listen?)

HOW I PREFER TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK:

I welcome feedback and look forward to growing with my clients and working towards their preferences. I much prefer verbal feedback (phone or video call) to text or email. I appreciate tone of voice so that I can fully understand the scope of how I can improve.

WORKING STYLE:

I love as many details as possible up front! I love hearing your preferences and opinions as well, even if they don't seem like they are essential. I enjoy catering to them as well. I am analytical and next-step oriented, because I tend to anticipate upcoming needs. I am aware of the little tasks that need to happen tomorrow, in order to get you to your 5 year goal. I love to execute the vision of a dreamer.
