Emily Martin

Throughout my career, I have managed complex calendars, coordinated high-visibility meetings and events, supported sensitive communications, and ensured leaders have the information and support they need to operate effectively.  My experience as an executive assistant strengthened my ability to manage domestic and international travel, draft briefings and presentations for executive audiences, coordinate large-scale events, and collaborate with diverse internal and external stakeholders. The role demanded accuracy, relationship-building, and strong communication. As a previous wedding and events venue owner, I managed event planning, production logistics, and vendor relationships. Excellent client communication was essential. My role at the venue included promotion design and day-of execution.
