About

Professional summary

I am a senior administrative professional with more than 12 years of experience delivering executive-level administrative support, coordinating events, and managing complex operational priorities in fast-paced environments.

I specialize in executive calendar management, travel coordination, expense reporting, document management, invoicing, and stakeholder communication. I handle confidential information with discretion and maintain a high level of accuracy across administrative and financial processes.

I am bilingual in English and Spanish, with strong written communication skills in both languages. I have experience preparing bilingual correspondence, meeting minutes, client updates, and operational communications.

In my current administrative role, I support restaurant clients across Florida by processing orders, verifying pricing and quantities, preparing invoices, and communicating daily product availability. I use QuickBooks to support accurate order and invoicing workflows.

My event coordination background includes planning and executing educational events, managing vendors, speakers, venues, budgets, payments, reimbursements, and conference calls. I am comfortable coordinating multiple simultaneous priorities under strict deadlines.

I also bring financial administration and entrepreneurial experience, including budget reporting, bank reconciliation, payment processing, and quality control for a handmade jewelry business.
