Helping busy teams stay organized, keep projects moving, and deliver exceptional experiences. Hi! I'm Xiaonan (Chloe), a theatre production and operations professional with 8+ years of experience managing theatre productions, events, and cross-functional teams in fast-paced environments. My background is in theatre, where every day means balancing dozens of moving parts, coordinating people with different priorities, solving unexpected problems, and making sure everything comes together on time. I've learned how to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and keep projects moving even when plans change at the last minute. Throughout my career, I've worked with directors, producers, designers, technical teams, vendors, performers, and international stakeholders to coordinate schedules, logistics, documentation, budgets, travel, and day-to-day operations. Whether it's managing production timelines, organizing complex calendars, planning events, creating reports, or keeping teams aligned, I genuinely enjoy bringing structure to busy environments. Here's what I can help with: • Project coordination and administrative support • Event planning and production coordination • Calendar, schedule, and travel management • Operations and workflow organization • Team communication and stakeholder coordination • Documentation, reports, spreadsheets, and project tracking • Logistics coordination • Executive and virtual assistant support People describe me as organized, dependable, proactive, and someone who stays positive when things get hectic. I believe great operations happen behind the scenes, allowing everyone else to do their best work. While I'm continuing my career in theatre, I'm also excited to work with businesses, startups, and organizations in different industries. I love learning new systems, adapting quickly, and becoming a reliable member of the team. If you're looking for someone who communicates well, takes ownership of their work, and genuinely cares about helping your team succeed, I'd love to work with you.
