Hello! I bring structure, discretion, and operational clarity to busy executives and fast-moving businesses. For 15+ years, I’ve supported CEOs, founders, and senior leaders by managing the moving pieces behind the scenes so they can stay focused on high-level priorities. I’m known for being highly organized, proactive, calm under pressure, and able to anticipate needs before they become problems. My work combines high-trust executive support with operational coordination and systems thinking. I manage complex calendars, inboxes, travel, vendor communication, project workflows, documentation, and cross-functional coordination while creating processes that keep teams aligned and work moving forward smoothly. I’ve supported leaders across real estate, consulting, leadership development, and service-based businesses, often serving as the person connecting communication, execution, and day-to-day operations. Beyond executive support, I naturally improve the systems around me. I build organized workflows, clean documentation, onboarding resources, SOPs, templates, and operational structures that reduce confusion and help businesses scale more efficiently. I’m especially strong at: • Executive support and calendar management • Inbox and communication management • Workflow and process organization • Project and operations coordination • Documentation and SOP creation • Cross-functional communication • Vendor and contractor coordination • Creating structure in fast-paced environments • Anticipating needs and solving problems proactively I also bring a strong design and presentation eye to my work. Whether it’s a handbook, onboarding guide, internal process document, branded deck, or client-facing material, I create deliverables that are clean, polished, and easy to use. Tools I regularly work in include Asana, Monday, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Outlook, Teams, Slack, SharePoint, Canva, QuickBooks, Zapier, Loom, Scribe, and more. I learn new systems quickly and often become the go-to person for organization and workflow optimization. If you need someone who can keep executives organized, operations moving, communication clear, and details from falling through the cracks, I’m the person people rely on. Myers: INFJ DiSC: SC

(Limited availability, I have room for one more client) I offer specialized support for C-Suites & Execs who need high-level strategic support (calendar management, inbox triage, systems, and travel) without adding a W2 headcount. I typically save my clients 15–20 hours of mindshare per week on a simple monthly retainer (no contract or monthly commitment required). I make it my mission to buy back as much of your time as possible, anticipate the needs of your business and/or personal life, solve problems before they even reach your desk, and for you to feel and know that you can consistently rely on me. ----- 🌟 "I've worked with more freelancers than I can count or recall and Molly stands out from the pack. I could recommend Molly on the basis of technical skill--and how she quickly learns what she does not know. But here's why you should hire Molly: Unlike 90 percent of the freelancers who worked with me in the past, Molly has that special ability to anticipate what I might need and to ask me about it before I can bring it up to her. It shows she's already thinking several steps ahead to get me where I need to be. If you hire her, look out! I've made it a goal of mine to hire her full-time when my business grows big enough!" -Brad, BT Irwin & Co ----- What you can expect from me: ◦ A reliable right-hand partner with high degree of initiative, attention to detail, and organization. Experience and skills include: 🔸 Inbox Triage 🔸  Complex Calendar Management 🔸  Travel Management 🔸 Project & Task Management 🔸  SMM / Marketing Assistance 🔸 Admin Support 🔸 Quality Assurance 🔸 Event Planning 🔸 Data Entry, Transfer, and Transcription (including screenplay format) 🔸 Creative Writing & Film Production 🔸 Invoicing & Light Accounting 🔸 Creative, Project, and Personal Assistance 🔸 Expense Reports ----- 🌟 "Molly is the most polished assistant I've worked with. She's clear, concise, and precise. If I had more work for her, I'd keep her in perpetuity. She's worth every penny and some." -Mike, Inroads Technologies 🌟 "Molly has exceeded my expectations. She's smart, dependable, fast, and a good communicator. I've asked her to help out with tasks that require so many skill sets, creative writing, data entry, accounting, collecting payments, communication with clients, and much more. It's rare to find one person who is versatile enough to do all of those things well. Molly has not only successfully completed all tasks assigned to her (often days before they are due), she has also anticipated the needs of our studio and performed tasks I hadn't even thought of but that were a huge help. Some of the software she introduced to me has also helped with organization and streamline communication between us and with others at our company as well. I feel very lucky to have found Molly and would certainly recommend her." -Aaron, Actor's Edge 🌟 "We searched high and low for an assistant who could help us organize our virtual law firm and get everyone's schedules in order. Molly not only did that, but also took over client intake and was always professional and courteous. Cannot recommend highly enough!" -Ryan, Morrison / Lee LLC 🌟 "Molly is really freaking awesome. I'm a busy mom and business owner and she completely got me through a crunch time. She's reliable, cool, quick, responsible, and smart. Will definitely make Molly my first call next crunch time that comes around and 500% highly recommend her for anyone else. (...) Beyond beyond beyond rockstar, critical part of our team on so many fronts" -Emily, Chief Detective [keywords: CEO assistant, executive assistant, detail-oriented, organized, calendaring, calendar assistant, scheduling assistant, calendar management, virtual assistant, admin assistant, scheduling, schedule management, calendar, administrative assistant, C Suite assistant]

Hi there, and welcome. I'm so glad you're here. I'm Kendria Moore, a Senior Executive Assistant and Operations Strategist with over 13 years of experience supporting CEOs, founders, and leadership teams in fast-paced, high-growth environments. Over the years, I've learned that successful businesses need more than administrative support. They need someone who can bring structure to the chaos, anticipate needs, improve processes, and help turn ideas into action. That's where I thrive. I began my career as an Executive Assistant, working closely alongside executives and gaining a deep understanding of how businesses operate behind the scenes. As my career evolved, I naturally expanded into operations, project management, systems optimization, and workflow design. Today, I partner with founders and business leaders to help keep things organized, moving forward, and running efficiently. Whether it's managing priorities, improving processes, building systems, or supporting day-to-day operations, I enjoy being the person clients can rely on to keep everything on track. Here are a few ways I support my clients: • Executive calendar and inbox management • Project management and accountability tracking • Operations support and workflow optimization • Asana workflow design and optimization (Asana Certified) • ClickUp, Notion, Monday, and Google Workspace management • SOP creation and process documentation • Team communication and coordination • Hiring, onboarding, and administrative support • AI and automation implementation to improve efficiency and reduce manual work In addition to my client work, I'm the founder of an executive assistant agency where I train and place high-level Executive Assistants to support growing businesses. This experience has given me a unique perspective on building strong support systems that help companies scale. Clients often describe me as proactive, calm under pressure, highly organized, and someone who just gets it. A little more about me: I'm originally from sunny California and now based in Arizona. When I'm not working, you'll usually find me hiking, exploring new places, or spending time with my miniature poodle, Expresso. If you're looking for a trusted right-hand partner who can provide both executive support and operational expertise, I'd love to connect. Warmly, Kendria
