Executive Personal Assistant
Verified
With over two decades of experience, including a significant tenure as an Executive/Personal Assistant at Gere Productions, I have developed a comprehensive skill set that includes managing daily operations, overseeing staff, and spearheading complex projects. I am eager to bring this expertise to your team and contribute to your success.
At Gere Productions, I had the wonderful opportunity to work closely with Richard Gere, managing his personal, work, business, and travel schedules. My role was to collaborate with business managers, agencies, and the Executive Director of the Gere Foundation to ensure the timely completion of projects and initiatives. I took great pride in producing large-scale events, executing key initiatives, and managing detailed reports. My role as a liaison with publicists also taught me the importance of flawless execution of media interviews and public appearances.
Before joining Gere Productions, I served as the Administrative Director of the Institute on the Arts and Civic Dialogue at New York University. There, I led project coordinators and administrative staff toward achieving performance and program goals, served as the main point of contact for executives and external agencies, and played a key role in training and mentoring new team members. My time at NYU helped me refine my ability to create and maintain effective organizational systems.
Additionally, as the Manager of Individual Giving and Special Events at Second Stage Theatre, I coordinated donor involvement at performances and talkbacks and managed key events such as the Annual Celebrity Bowling Tournament, and Annual Gala. This role was instrumental in honing my event coordination and fundraising skills.
I enjoy using my skills to facilitate smooth and efficient operations that allow my principals and organizations to focus on their larger goals. I am confident that my background and dedication make me a great remote fit for your team.More...
