Summary

I am a highly organised and motivated Executive Assistant with over 16 years’ experience. I work efficiently to a very high standard in a discreet, calm and confidential manner. I operate well under pressure utilizing my own initiative, or as part of a team and I pride myself on always meeting my objectives and deadlines. I am an excellent written and verbal communicator, with strong organisational skills and I work with determination to succeed with each task under my remit. I am a quick learner who takes a pragmatic and collaborative approach to assisting my assigned manager and I very much enjoy the challenge of building strong working relationships.
