Hi, I’m Karla - thanks for stopping by!

Hi there! I’m an experienced Executive Assistant with a background that spans media, higher ed, nonprofits, and tech. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve supported senior leaders and fast-moving teams by keeping things organized, efficient, and a few steps ahead, managing packed calendars, coordinating big events, and even making processes smoother for everyone involved.

I naturally gravitate toward roles where I get to wear a lot of hats. I genuinely enjoy being handed a vague, “can you figure this out?” kind of task and running with it. I love bringing order to the chaos, adding a creative touch where it’s needed, and building systems that just work better. I’ve got a good eye for design, a problem-solving mindset, and a real love for thoughtful, behind-the-scenes work that makes a difference.

Outside the office, you’ll usually find me crafting something, playing a board game, or nerding out over design and UX ideas. I care deeply about equity and inclusion, and I try to bring that mindset into every space I’m part of—whether that’s how I communicate, plan events, or help shape culture.

At the end of the day, I just love being the person people can count on. I show up prepared, I think a few moves ahead, and I genuinely enjoy supporting great people doing meaningful work. If that sounds like someone you’d want on your team, I’d love to connect.

Some Things I’m Proud Of

• I built my own PC from scratch (and yes, it still runs!).
• I’m probably the person who’ll fix the printer and design your slide deck, all before lunch.
• I’m a lifelong crafter and a sucker for a good spreadsheet.
• I once ran a 50-person month-long global summer school program in Shanghai without knowing Chinese (thank you, Google Translate!).
• I’m a proud corgi mom to Mango, who fully runs the household.
