About

Professional summary

I’m an operations leader with 6+ years of experience across business operations, team management, executive support, client delivery, and customer-facing services.

For over three years, I led remote operations for a U.S.-based marketing and go-to-market consultancy, working closely with the Founder as second-in-command. I took ownership of day-to-day execution, team coordination, process improvements, client needs, and operational problem-solving, often stepping into different functions to keep things moving.

I managed projects and delivery for 50+ clients across the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, coordinating cross-functional teams to maintain reliable delivery timelines and a consistent client experience.

I’ve led remote teams of editors, virtual assistants, and project managers, while also managing a pool of freelance talent to provide additional capacity when needed. My approach focuses on accountability, capacity planning, hiring, onboarding, and removing operational bottlenecks before they become bigger problems.

I build practical SOPs, workflows, and internal systems that make recurring work easier to execute, improve consistency, and support sustainable growth. I’ve also worked across founder-led content production, client management, and strategic execution in lean, fast-moving environments.

Earlier in my career, I developed experience across leadership, sales, customer service, collections, inventory, and administrative operations. My degree in Business Management provided the foundation for my understanding of business and operations, which I’ve since built on through hands-on experience. I bring a practical, hands-on, adaptable, and people-focused approach to operations, with a strong bias toward ownership, problem-solving, and getting things done.
