Working in this mid-sized PR agency, I had several roles. Mainly, I was the right hand of the President. As her executive assistant, I coordinated her agenda, business travel, assisted on diverse projects, and served as her personal assistant. As an office manager, I was in charge of the front desk internal accounting, human resources, event planning, managing vendors and service providers, and was responsible for the five different properties that made up our offices. I managed to succeed in this position, even after her relocation to the United States, all while maintaining a high level discretion and confidentiality.

As a manager of a small yet hyper productive bakery in the heart of Paris, I worked together with the owner to ensure the functioning of the establishment and was in charge of managing the staff, vendors, and stock. An essential part of the job was also ensuring economic performance while upkeeping quality standards. This position required a solution-oriented approach and a high level of customer service, while working under an extremely fast paced and unpredictable environment.

As a Legal Assistant in the well-known El Paso law firm, my job consisted in assisting an attorney and one of the name partners. My main tasks were to manage the discovery process, scheduling deadlines, drafting legal documents, conducting research for specific cases, and constantly working with our clients to ensure compliance with discovery requests. Additionally, I liaised with opposing counsel, the courts, health care providers, insurance companies, and the Consulate of Mexico, to request and provide documents and information necessary for litigation. Interpretation and translation were a key part of the post, as we served many Spanish-speaking clients.
