April Eldridge

Sr. Executive Assistant / Chief of Staff
I thrive on chaos, and supporting the incredibly fast-paced, dynamic lives of CEO's is extremely chaotic. But, I love it. And, I'm great at it! It's a partnership and a role I take very seriously. Persistence and enthusiasm are two traits that I believe most reflect me as an individual.
