About Allison A.

As an independent EA, I’ve had the privilege of supporting entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, and other high-level leaders across start-ups, large marketing firms, and education-focused nonprofits. My approach is easygoing, adaptable, and proactive. I thrive on direct communication and always welcome feedback, especially if you prefer something to be done differently. Let’s talk about it and keep the ball rolling.My goal is to be a true partner in your day-to-day. Hearing that you had ample time to prepare for a meeting, a project was completed on time, your inbox is finally down to one page, or simply “Thanks for catching and filling out the questionnaire for me…” those moments are the most rewarding to me and reflect the impact I’ve made behind the scenes!I act as the gatekeeper of your time by helping you stay organized, prepared, and protected from calendar overload.In fast-moving, ever-shifting environments, my approach ensures consistency, responsiveness, and peace of mind.Additional strengths include-Managing high-volume inboxes-Drafting, sending, and queuing emails-Optimizing calendars and prioritizing meetings, events, and conflicting needs-Assisting with fundraising research and applications-Handling and processing expenses-Preparing reports and presentations-Coordinating travel logistics-Planning and organizing events
