About

At General Motors, my role as an Executive Assistant leverages my robust expertise in managing critical administrative duties and orchestrating seamless operations for high-level executives. With a proven track record from previous roles, I have honed my skills in managing complex calendars, initiatives, and priorities for leaders. My strengths are communication, problem solving, and being a trusted strategic partner. The reason I love being an Executive Assistant is because my day-to-day never looks the same, and I’m always learning about the business and developing new skill sets to maximize efficiencies. My responsibilities have arranged from but are not limited to meeting logistics, office management, project management, budget, expense and travel coordination, technical support, and the onboarding and off-boarding process.
