With over six years of experience supporting C-level executives in the real estate and escrow industry, Elizabeth brings proven expertise in executive-level administrative support, project coordination, and confidential communication. As Executive Assistant to the President of a prominent escrow company, she managed dynamic calendars, coordinated meetings and travel, prepared detailed reports, and handled sensitive priorities with discretion and professionalism. Elizabeth’s role required keen organizational skills, independent judgment, and the ability to anticipate needs in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.

In addition to her core responsibilities, Elizabeth served as Secretary of the company’s 501(c)(3) foundation, where she provided critical administrative support and contributed to policy creation, scholarship creation and approvals, and community engagement initiatives. This experience strengthened her ability to lead projects, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and support philanthropic missions.

Elizabeth is highly proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word), and Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Lightroom). A self-motivated learner and creative problem-solver, she consistently strives to exceed expectations and deliver results that are both effective and innovative. Her strengths include excellent verbal and written communication, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities with professionalism and poise.

With this experience under her belt, she pursued her longtime dream of entrepreneurship by launching her own company. Amid the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, Elizabeth made the bold decision to soft launch an online bakery. After years of research and countless hours of recipe development, she successfully built a specialty bakery serving a unique niche market in a way that hadn’t been seen locally before.

Today, Elizabeth operates a thriving cake business as a licensed home baker, specializing in vintage-style cakes. What began as a passion project has since evolved into a profitable and well-loved local brand.

    “Liz was my Executive Assistant at Pango Group for six years, and not only did she excel in the role, but she was just a joy to have at our company as part of the Pango family. She started with us as a receptionist, but as the hungry, humble and smart person she is, when this role opened up, she stepped up to the plate, eager to learn and challenge herself with a whole new set of responsibilities. She always handled even the most difficult tasks with a grace and kindness, and in her six years with me, I’ve seen her grow into a driven and independent young woman. Oh, and she makes the best treats around!”

  • Kristin Hill

    “I’ve worked with Liz on both an administrative level and as a customer of her baked goods. On a personal & professional level, she is an amazing person, so very kind with the highest integrity.
    Her baked goods are amazing! She catered my daughters grad party and the cupcakes, cookies and cake pops were not only delicious but she decorated them with the logos I asked for. It was so so impressive! She never ceases to amaze me with her latest yummy gluten free masterpieces!”

  • Joe Curtis

    “I've had the pleasure of working with Liz over the past several years both directly and indirectly. In my experience Liz has a quiet competence that produces incredibly high quality work. She's thoughtful, thorough and diligent. I absolutely loved working with Liz and would do so again if I got the chance!”

  • Evelyn Sanchez

    “I had the pleasure of working with Elizabeth at Pango Group and was highly impressed by how quickly she picked up on training and how fast she moved up within the company ranks. Elizabeth started with us as a receptionist and topped off things with being an executive assistant for the president of our company. She is one of the most compassionate people I know with a big heart and tenacity for teamwork. Elizabeth is leader in "being a team player" and is now bringing all of those attributes to her new bakery business.”

Philanthropy

My philanthropic endeavors have been a significant part of my personal and professional growth. At the Pango Foundation, I actively participated in initiatives aimed at enhancing community well-being. Additionally, I volunteer my time with Pasadena Humane & Stray Cat Alliance, which involves fostering animals, coordinating adoptions, and supporting their mission to promote animal welfare.

These experiences have instilled in me a profound sense of empathy and a commitment to making a positive impact.
