FAQs
I have worked a wide range of events including corporate conferences, trade shows, brand activations, nonprofit fundraisers, festivals, and large-scale public events. I'm comfortable managing everything from small VIP gatherings to multi-thousand attendee events
I handle vendor sourcing end-to-end. I research, vet, negotiate terms, and manage contracts to ensure we get reliable, cost-effective services while protecting the client's interests.

Yes. I can support social media marketing, email campaigns, event landing pages, and PR outreach, depending on your needs.
I deliver a full post-event report including attendance metrics, budget reconciliation, vendor evaluations, sponsor fulfillment reports, and strategic recommendations for future events.
I adapt to your preferred level of involvement. Some clients prefer to be very hands-on; others want me to take full ownership. I’m comfortable working either way.

I'm highly proficient with Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, Slack, Asana, Trello, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoom, and many other productivity and CRM platforms. I learn new systems quickly if needed.
Yes. I have supported multiple leaders simultaneously, balancing competing priorities while maintaining organized systems and clear communication.

Yes, extensively. I am comfortable working asynchronously, staying organized across time zones, and maintaining strong virtual communication.
I adapt quickly. I typically request a brief onboarding session to understand your systems and preferences, but I'm highly self-sufficient and able to operate independently within a short time.
I’m extremely independent but collaborative when needed. I know when to take ownership and when to loop others in for alignment.
I don't just execute tasks — I bring strategic thinking, proactive support, and a calm, steady presence that helps businesses and leaders operate at their best. I'm fast-moving but detail-obsessed, and I prioritize making your life easier from day one.
