Hello!
My career didn't begin in a traditional corporate office. It started by helping my family build and manage our trucking business. As an Administrative Assistant, I worked closely with my father, handling the day-to-day administrative operations that kept the business running smoothly.
Working in a family business gave me firsthand experience in wearing multiple hats, solving problems quickly, and understanding what it takes to support a growing business behind the scenes.
A few months later, I pursued another opportunity as an ESL Teacher, where I discovered my passion for teaching, communication, organization, and helping others succeed. Balancing both roles taught me how to prioritize meeting deadlines, managing my time effectively, and staying organized. It taught me discipline, adaptability, and the importance of delivering consistent results regardless of how busy things became.
After a year of successfully managing both responsibilities, I was honored to become a Ground Instructor at the institution where I earned my aviation education, IAU. Today, I continue to work as a part-time Ground Instructor while supporting our family business behind the scenes.
Today, I continue working as a part-time Ground Instructor while supporting our family business. These experiences have shaped me into a proactive, detail-oriented professional who enjoys creating structure, improving workflows, and helping busy executives operate more efficiently.
Whether it's managing schedules, organizing operations, coordinating projects, or handling administrative tasks, I take pride in being the dependable support that allows CEOs and founders to focus on what they do best: growing their business.
