About me

I am an experienced executive assistant and event/wedding planner with strong expertise in executive support, client services, hospitality, and managing complex calendars, travel, and projects from strategic planning through seamless execution. I am proficient in scheduling, budgeting, inbox and calendar management, organization, analytical creativity, and maintaining a calm, solutions-oriented demeanor under stressful situations. I have advanced skills with Google Suite, Microsoft Office, and industry platforms such as Aisle Planner, Planoly, Tripleseat, Canva, Honeybook, ShowIt, and Sprout. Currently, I coordinate multiple executive calendars and timelines, manage inboxes, arrange complex domestic and international travel, and prepare board and leadership materials to support key business objectives. I serve as a primary liaison between executives, clients, vendors, and internal teams, fostering productive relationships and maintaining confidentiality. Additionally, I oversee administrative processes including expense reports, invoice tracking, budget monitoring, and contract coordination, implementing new digital systems to improve organizational efficiency. As an expert wedding/event planner, I have managed and executed over 30 domestic and international events annually, handling vendor communication, budget consultations, venue tours, and day-of coordination. I am skilled at managing high-volume communications and event-related documentation with executive-level professionalism. I have supported lead planners and executives with event logistics, setup, teardown, and on-site coordination to maintain organized and visually appealing event environments. Previously, I supported senior leadership by developing status reports, coordinating meetings, managing inquiries, and maintaining online company files including invoices, contracts, and budgets. I also have experience as a shift supervisor where I analyzed payroll and inventory, and planned in-house events. My background includes orchestrating end-to-end executive administrative operations, handling high-volume communications, complex calendar planning, travel logistics, and boardroom readiness. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Illinois – Chicago.
