I am an Assistant and senior operations support professional with extensive experience supporting business owners, managing office operations, and improving administrative workflows.
I bring strong expertise in executive calendar management, correspondence, travel and meeting logistics, stakeholder coordination, and day-to-day operational problem-solving. I work calmly under pressure and focus on protecting leadership time so executives can concentrate on strategic priorities.
My background includes full-cycle bookkeeping, accounts payable and receivable, payroll processing, tax reconciliations, procurement, vendor negotiations, and budget support. I am confident working with detailed records, financial data, supplier accounts, and business processes.
I have also supported sales and supply-chain operations through supplier coordination, product documentation, pricing administration, cold-call initiatives, and inventory-related logistics. My approach combines accuracy, organization, customer focus, and practical commercial awareness.
