My responsibilities included maintaining organizational trackers and master schedules, coordinating with external vendors, managing purchasing requests, preparing transportation documentation, and supporting major conference activities.

I also developed a comprehensive 10-page office operations manual to help standardize procedures, organize essential information, and improve communication across the leadership team.
