Who You Are

• You have a strong administrative foundation: calendar and inbox management, document organization, contracts, proposals, quotes, and invoices — and you follow through without being chased.
• You've coordinated logistics with vendors, venues, contractors, or third-party partners and can manage moving pieces across multiple stakeholders.
• You walk into ambiguous situations and create structure. You are proactive and detail-obsessed — you see what needs to happen and move on it before you're asked.
• You are warm, professional, and client-ready. You own your mistakes, fix them fast, and think in solutions rather than problems.
