Top Assistant to up and coming businesses so they can focus on GROWTH

Working with up-and-coming teams so they can focus on growth—building smarter systems to help them scale and thrive! I'd like to be the Sancho Panza to your Don Quixote (which may be a terrible workplace analogy given that Sancho Panza was notoriously lazy and naïve but he was also charismatic, loyal and pragmatic, which are the traits that I resonate the most with). I'm a Project and operations professional with 10+ years of experience supporting startups and international companies in optimizing workflows, coordinating cross-functional teams, and delivering excellent client support. Skilled in process documentation, compliance, and light automation, with a growing focus on AI-powered solutions and scalable systems. Adept at building strong client relationships, streamlining operations, and ensuring projects run smoothly from start to finish. As a Startup/Small Business Admin, I've managed everything from executive tasks and human resources to office management, bookkeeping, and recruiting. This has given me invaluable experience in the fast-paced startup environment, and I truly understand the importance of having the right tools in place to build a successful company. Lately, I've been doubling down on my passion for process design, automation, and structured thinking. I've led the implementation of workflow tools, built small scalable automation systems, and designed end-to-end solutions for billing, onboarding, and compliance. I'm now actively transitioning into roles focused on AI implementation, automation operations, and low-code solutions—leveraging my systems mindset and love for emerging technologies to help teams work smarter. While I'm fascinated by the power of technology, I firmly believe that the personal touch of one-on-one interaction is key. It strikes me as odd that online and in-person connections are often seen as competing. I'm striving to build a career that hopefully bridges both worlds. I'm all about getting things done and I don't take myself too seriously! I love telling and hearing stories, so let's connect.
