Executive Assistant | Operations Manager | Project Manager

I help busy executives, founders, entrepreneurs, and growing businesses stay organized, streamline operations, manage projects, and build efficient systems that keep the business moving forward. As an Executive Assistant, Operations Manager, and Project Manager, I bring a combination of administrative expertise, business knowledge, and technical skills that allows me to support both the day-to-day operations and the systems behind them. I look at how your business operates, identify what can be improved, and help create the structure, workflows, and processes that make your work easier and more efficient. ⭐ Areas of Expertise ✔ Executive Assistance ✔ Operations Management ✔ Project & Program Management ✔ Business Operations ✔ Calendar & Email Management ✔ CRM Management ✔ Customer & Client Support ✔ Community Management ✔ Process Improvement ✔ Workflow Optimization ✔ SOP Development ✔ Reporting & Documentation ✔ Team & Cross-Functional Coordination ✔ Digital & Administrative Support Throughout my experience, I have supported executives, entrepreneurs, programs, online businesses, communities, and remote teams with calendar and inbox management, customer communication, project coordination, onboarding, reporting, documentation, email marketing, community operations, and digital business systems. One example of my operations experience includes supporting The Black Business School, where I coordinated programs and educational initiatives, managed member communications, supported student onboarding, uploaded and organized course materials, coordinated launches, and managed a large online community. I have also supported businesses with email marketing, website administration, customer support, and operational workflows. 💡 What Gives Me an Edge I bring something that isn't always common in an Executive Assistant or Operations professional: 🎓 Two Bachelor's Degrees I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Management and a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering. My Business Management background gives me a strong understanding of business operations, organizational structure, project coordination, administration, and how businesses function. My Software Engineering background gives me a technical advantage when working with business software, digital platforms, automation, websites, CRMs, integrations, data, and new technology. This combination allows me to bridge the gap between people, processes, business, and technology. It also means I'm comfortable learning new tools quickly and figuring out how technology can be used to make a process more efficient. Instead of asking only, "What task needs to be completed?" I also ask: "Why are we doing it this way, and is there a better way?" That mindset helps me identify bottlenecks, simplify repetitive work, improve workflows, organize information, and create processes that are easier for teams to follow. 💼 Services 📅 Executive Assistance Calendar management Inbox & email management Meeting scheduling and coordination Travel & appointment coordination Follow-ups and reminders Research Document & file organization Confidential administrative support ⚙️ Operations Management Business operations support Workflow optimization Process improvement SOP creation & documentation CRM management Team coordination Operational documentation Reporting & tracking Administrative systems 📊 Project & Program Management Project planning & coordination Task management Timeline & deadline tracking Team follow-ups Progress reporting Dashboard management Cross-functional coordination Program coordination Virtual event coordination 🤝 Customer, Client & Community Support Customer support Client communication Client onboarding Community management Member support Email communication Issue resolution Customer experience improvement 💻 Digital & Technology Support CRM administration Website management Digital platform administration Workflow automation Business tool implementation AI-powered productivity Data organization Technology research and implementation 🛠️ Tools 📁 Project & Operations ClickUp • Asana • Trello • Notion • Zapier 💬 Communication & Productivity Google Workspace • Microsoft Office • Microsoft Teams • Slack • SharePoint 📧 Email Marketing & CRM Klaviyo • Mailchimp • Flodesk • ConvertKit • CRM platforms 🌐 Website & E-commerce Shopify • WordPress • Wix • Webflow • Squarespace 🎨 Design & Content Canva • Photoshop 📄 Document Management DocuSign • Google Drive • Dropbox • Microsoft Documents 🤖 AI & Technology ChatGPT • AI productivity tools • Automation platforms I'm also comfortable stepping into new software and platforms quickly.
