My experience includes providing strategic and operational support, managing key projects, and facilitating communication between departments. Previously, as an Executive Assistant at IRW and Direct Relief, I honed my skills in high-level administrative support, coordination, and communication management. My career journey also includes roles at GUILTY, USDA-FSIS, and the US Department of Health and Human Services, where I gained experience in resource management, public affairs, and public health initiatives. My diverse background and education have equipped me with a well-rounded skill set to thrive in dynamic and challenging environments.
