About
I’m a senior executive assistant with 18+ years of experience supporting Vice Presidents and executive leadership inside a Fortune 50 company. My job is simple: remove friction so leaders can lead. I manage complex executive calendars, nonstop travel, six-figure budgets, and large-scale leadership events without dropping balls or creating chaos. When things go sideways, I fix them fast. When leaders need focus, I protect their time. When big moments matter, I make them run flawlessly.
Experience
Over my career at Verizon, I’ve:
- Managed $100K+ annual budgets across multi-director organizations • Built financial tracking systems that help leaders avoid overruns • Led executive kickoffs for 300+ attendees, owning everything from venues to vendors to travel • Created a regional kickoff model adopted as “best in region” • Handled weekly VP and AVP travel, including complex multi-city and international trips • Acted as a true gatekeeper, making judgment calls—not just taking messages • Supported business continuity during high-risk operational disruptions I’m known for discretion, judgment, calm under pressure, and getting things done without drama. I don’t need micromanagement. I don’t need hand-holding. I see what needs to happen and make it happen.
