Goal oriented, energetic, and dedicated assistant with over eight years of experience working in executive assistant and managerial roles. Most of my roles have required a high level of organization, management, client-facing personality and an overall ability to take on any given task. As a yoga instructor, I approach life and others in a calm and positive manner. I strive to be the best version of myself daily, so I can extend myself to others!
