About Kat

Thank you for your interest in my services and for taking the time to learn more about me! I am excited about getting to know you, and how I can assist you!

I am a Virtual Consultant working remotely, with over 20 years of experience helping businesses and individuals stay organized, efficient, and focused on their goals.

I am a highly creative, eclectic person, with a variety of experience. At University,
I studied psychology, fine arts and graphic design. I began my corporate career as a receptionist, evolving and growing to take on Operations Management, Training Management, Office Management, and managing several teams. I’ve learned a wide array of computer programs and applications throughout my decades of real life, hands-on experience.

I truly value collaborating with diverse, eclectic, creative groups of people.

I’ve been employed at some of the largest fortune 500 international companies including, Cendant, Nabisco, Mercer HR, and Gensler. I’ve worked with independent artists and entrepreneurs. I’ve lived and worked in the economic, cultural, and media powerhouse cities of the United States. New York City (Midtown/Garment District), Chicago (The Loop/River North), downtown Los Angeles (Financial District), Venice Beach & Santa Monica, California, providing high-level support across various industries in corporate environments, as well as uniquely artistic spaces.

I began as a receptionist for a healthcare agency, fearlessly diving into learning computer programs in a vastly shifting, technological, cultural leap and truly learning on the job.

I was hired at Nabisco as the Documentation Specialist. There, I supervised documentation support in the food and beverage industry. This involved their extensive database of ingredients, including kosher certifications needed to be updated regularly. I was responsible for populating new software with complex information and training employees on how to use the new software. Nabisco merges with Kraft Foods and my department is dissolved.

I moved on to a larger fortune 500 international company, supporting the vice president of an international hospitality industry (Cendant was a massive conglomerate with a diverse portfolio of businesses spanning travel, hospitality, and real estate). My role evolved from the Executive Assistant to the Vice President of Howard Johnson, into a managerial position. Managing the training team, organizing, maintaining, managing and shipping training manuals, workbooks, and marketing materials for the domestic properties of Howard Johnson across the US. I reported directly to the Vice President of Howard Johnson, working in conjunction with the President, and the VP of Marketing, along with their assistants. I managed the team consisting of 6 people, the three c-suite assistants, and three trainers who traveled weekly to various properties training front desk, housekeeping, management and maintenance teams on HJ franchise policies and standards to new conversions and properties that needed updated training for their staff. Unfortunately, mass company-wide layoffs came.

As a Microsoft office certified expert and PowerPoint specialist, I shifted more towards marketing roles. I completed projects creating the marketing materials that would become videos and workbooks for an international corporate training company.

I worked for a marketing company rebranding their own marketing materials, once they were merged with a larger company, and underwent a company name change, logo change, presentation standards. I oversaw the conversion of all these materials. The project also included managing employees who needed to change their voicemail messages, learn the new company script for answering phone calls, and update their pre-existing sales presentation templates. Ensuring the new branding transitioned smoothly. I worked directly with Account managers to create and/or convert clients sales and marketing collateral/materials with the new company design standards. I created complex charts, graphs, and presentations reporting on field market research the company conducted for pharmaceutical clients such as Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Merck & Co., Roche, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, working closely with account managers on various client deliverables.

Branching out, I completed a six-month project in Chicago, IL, as a Desktop Publisher for UBS Private Global Wealth Management. I enjoyed a few projects working with architects, including an independent boutique firm, a small firm in LA, and at one of the largest international architecture firms in the world, Gensler (a global design and architecture firm), where I supported the co-CEO’s, co-directors, David Gensler and Andy Cohen in the downtown LA Gensler corporate headquarters. At the time, David Gensler had taken over from his father and founder, the late Art Gensler, and Andy, a long time architect for Gensler was promoted to co-CEO. I worked in coordination with the team of assistants, David and Andy each had two assistant’s, which included me, and I coordinated with the President of Marketing to create standard compliant marketing materials company-wide and within the c-suite administrative team.

I worked in downtown LA in the financial district assisting the top level executive the Head of Global Affairs at Mercer HR consulting in Los Angeles, California. After years working in corporate office environments, I decided to broaden my services to creative entrepreneurs. I assisted the founder of her own successful art business, she made glass blown kitchen cabinet knobs, and door pulls, a very eclectic, unique creator. Then, I began branching out to more creative, flexible collaborations.

I moved back to the East Coast where I worked directly with the Founder/President of a moving company, specializing in corporate clients. Large corporate clients moving from one New York City office building to another NYC office, which required extensive complex organization of employees, information, computers, filing cabinets and contents, highly sensitive, confidential information. I managed multiple projects in coordination with the owner, along with the president of marketing, and the field team to coordinate their schedules, project dates, vendors, the clients team of employees deadlines, and managing projects to ensure moves were completed efficiently, and all moving parts, including personnel, smoothly complete projects on time.

Once 2020 hit, new possibilities opened in many ways. Another quantum leap shifting into a new cultural era. I continue learning new skills, always keeping my knowledge and skill set current. I’ve shifted fully to a virtual consulting model.
