Currently at Oracle, I provide high-level executive support, coordinate strategic initiatives, and streamline operations to enhance organizational efficiency. Previously, at WZMH Architects, EA to six CEO’s, I contributed to project coordination and executive assistance in a fast-paced architectural environment, honing my skills in cross-functional communication, event planning, and stakeholder management. At Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, I rapidly advanced from Executive Assistant to Research Operations Manager. There, I led large-scale initiatives including institute relocations, event planning for symposiums and media events, and managed financial oversight of grant funds totaling over $7M. I served as Interim Director (2010–2012), driving workflow improvements, grant applications, budgeting for senior leadership, and handling HR responsibilities. My role also encompassed managing the PRISM Lab, creating operational processes, ensuring compliance with sterilization protocols, supervising domestic and international staff, editing scientific manuscripts and peer reviews, and overseeing network administration. I bring a unique blend of administrative precision, operational leadership, and strategic foresight. Skilled in budget management, HR functions, compliance, and technical systems implementation, I excel at anticipating organizational needs and driving initiatives that align with strategic goals. I am passionate about fostering collaborative, efficient teams and supporting executive leadership to achieve impactful results.
