• Coordinate travel arrangements, lodging, and itineraries.
• Handle routine administrative work with consistency and care, without needing to be asked twice.

Confidentiality & Communication:

• Handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion and integrity.

• Track progress on key initiatives, maintaining deadlines and helping the team stay on schedule.
