Dear Hiring Manager,

Thank you for the opportunity to submit my application for the Executive Assistant role. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working closely with C-level executives, providing them with comprehensive administrative and personal support, enabling them to focus on strategic initiatives. I have developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges and demands that come with supporting busy executives. I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced, high- pressure environments.

In my previous role as the Executive Manager to the C-Suite, I successfully managed complex calendars across multiple time zones and continents, managed inboxes using the inbox zero method, managed international travel arrangements, facilitated seamless communication between executives and stakeholders, developed over 70 award-winning proposals - served as the project manager post-award, managed full scope logistics for events, and served as the Board Governance Administrator and liaison.

I am adept in anticipating needs, strategic problem-solving, and providing thought partnership. Additionally, my strong organizational and multitasking abilities have allowed me to consistently meet deadlines and exceed expectations.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience align with the needs for this role. Sincerely,

Larayne Whitehead
