For over 20 years, I’ve been the go-to Executive Assistant for top-level leaders, and I have the track record to prove it.
I spent the last 5 years in HR (most recently as an HR Business Partner), so I understand the people side of business just as well as the administrative side. I hold CIPD Level 3 and Level 5 qualifications, am a fully-fledged member of the CIPD and I even have a Bachelor’s degree (with Honours, don’t you know!) in Hospitality and Licensed Retail Management.
Translation:
I know how to keep things organised, efficient and running smoothly - always with a confident smile and a dash of sass.
I'm not all business, though - I'm also a certified diving instructor with both PADI and SSI and I've taught first aid to divers and coworkers alike.
Yes, I've literally saved lives underwater - and saved the day in the office too!
As a certified Mental Health First Aider, I bring a calm, supportive presence to any high-pressure situation. Whether I'm coordinating a board meeting or handling a people emergency, I stay cool, collected and ready to dive into any challenge.
On the personal side, I'm a shameless shoe lover and an avid traveller, always planning my next adventure (when I’m not chasing the next great dive site, that is!). I believe you can be both professional and approachable, so I bring a warm demeanour and a bit of flair to work every day. At home, I’m managed by my three feline executives: Lola the full-on diva, Biscuit the low-key queen and Fins, the sasstastic moggie extraordinaire.
Clients often say I'm the right fit because I'm that rare mix of highly reliable and fun to work with. If you're looking for high-level support you can truly trust, someone who handles the details, truly has your back, and maybe even makes you smile along the way then look no further.
