Experienced Executive Assistant with expertise in management, travel arrangements and event planning. I have been described as reliable, trustworthy and possessing integrity beyond reproach. I am a team player who appreciates structure, hierarchy and lack of drama in the workplace. Past experience includes management of multiple Williams-Sonoma stores. I was part of a team responsible for hiring and training of staff and all aspects of new store set-up (including contract negotiation, vendor management, payroll, budgeting, compliance training and onsite human resource management.) My past experience as a buyer has also provided me with excellent sourcing skills and an appreciation of food, wine and design. My time in finance has given me experience in a variety of areas as I've continuously accepted greater responsibility in each postion. While at Morgan Stanley, I performed Executive Assistant and research associate functions as well as reviewed contracts for the department, approved expense reports and coordinated department wide conferences and outings.Specialties: Executive Assistant, Associate, Management, Retail Management, Buyer, Assistant Buyer, Operations
