Executive & Personal Support · Operations · VIP Relations & Logistics

A trusted right hand to leadership, bringing sound judgment, discretion, organization, and calm problem-solving to complex work.

My career spans county government, emergency operations, large-scale events, nonprofit leadership, radio and entertainment, and VIP hospitality. I anticipate needs, connect the dots, and help people and priorities move forward. I don't need to be the person in charge to be the person you can count on.

Open to meaningful executive support, personal assistance, and operations opportunities, including relocation for the right fit.

Experience across industries. One constant: follow-through.

Executive & personal support

Anticipating needs, managing details, prioritizing competing demands, handling sensitive matters, and representing leadership with professionalism.

Operations & public service

Coordinating deadlines, records, governance materials, financial-program workflows, community initiatives, and cross-functional teams.

Entertainment & VIP logistics

Radio promotions, label relationships, artist and crew hospitality, backstage logistics, travel coordination, and event problem-solving.

Steady under pressure

Supporting emergency operations and high-stakes public-facing work while communicating clearly and adapting quickly.

High-accountability data and program administration

The title “Assessment Coordinator” hides a large operating system: statutory calendars, parcel and unit records, credits and exemptions, billing controls, corrections, certifications, and cross-office coordination.

What the work actually required

Maintaining and reconciling large datasets; researching parcel and ownership discrepancies; tracking credits, refunds and exemptions; calculating CPI and fuel adjustments; reviewing invoices and revenue; preparing recurring reports; and meeting fixed annual certification deadlines.

RECONSTRUCTED FROM ACTUAL PRACTICE

Teaching the logic

Separate contacts by role or interest, then create targeted query groups for appropriate mass communication. The value is not the button-clicking. It is understanding the structure well enough to build and explain the workflow.

Scale

Approximately 63,000 parcels, 68,000 collection units, 70,000+ disposal assessments, and an $18.2 million annual public program.

St. Johns River Celebration: 1998–2022

Organized and continually developed this large-scale annual river cleanup from 1998 through 2022. Far from repeating the same event each year, I adapted the planning, strengthened and expanded community networks, cultivated partnerships, and coordinated evolving logistics across multiple sites. The event brought together volunteers, sponsors, community organizations, public information, safety planning, supplies, communications and outcome reporting. I also built community giving into the event, inviting participants to donate canned goods for local food pantries, collecting cans to support K9s For Warriors in some years, and coordinating requested-item drives for the Green Cove Springs Women’s Association and Orange Park Women’s Association. These efforts gave volunteers another way to serve and helped extend the event’s reach beyond environmental stewardship. For many years, cadets from the Florida Youth Challenge program also participated in the cleanup. I made a point of welcoming them, recognizing their contribution, and making sure they were well fed at the volunteer cookout, including extra hamburgers when available. During the COVID years, we adjusted the event format while continuing its community-focused purpose.
