Summary

Having 30 years of experience supporting executives and high net worth individuals, I have developed exceptional communication and time management skills. I have years of proven success managing schedules, organizing travel, event planning, meeting planning, gatekeeping and making the handling of multiple conflicting priorities look easy. The diversity of the industries I've worked for - commercial construction, real estate development, private equity and technology, to name a few - has allowed me to develop a keen understanding of different business processes. Having supported a diverse group of personalities, I have developed an unusually high emotional quotient which benefits interaction with many different individuals, intuiting their needs and how they choose to have them met. The executive assistant position has so many more facets than just managing calendars, planning meetings and answering emails. It's a very trust-based position requiring an emotional investment from both sides, the EA and the company/person requiring support. I love what I do and it shows in how well I do it. Skills
