Dear Hiring Committee,

It’s not every day you find an organization that places relationships, community, and celebration at the core of its work, while also investing in efficient, forward-thinking processes. When I discovered Willowbridge’s vision—and the Executive Assistant and Process Improvement Coordinator role—I knew I had found the perfect environment to merge my passion for community-building with my knack for organizational excellence.

For over three years, I’ve helped senior leaders, boards, and committees streamline governance processes, adopt new technologies, and meet accreditation standards. Whether supporting executive leadership at Fieldreams Limited or managing complex projects and data-driven improvements at the University of Guelph, I’ve built a strong record of enhancing workflows, maintaining meticulous policy oversight, and driving continuous quality improvement (CQI). I’m adept at transforming administrative processes—using both emerging technologies and empathetic communication—so that leaders can focus on what truly matters: serving individuals and families, and cultivating equitable, inclusive communities.

Willowbridge’s commitment to its staff and clients stands out to me. I’m inspired by your innovative four-day workweek, your generous professional development opportunities, and your dedication to flexible, hybrid working arrangements that respect each team member’s unique needs. These priorities align perfectly with my experience advocating for inclusivity as the Founder of the African Student Association and as an O-Week Advisory Board Member at the University of Guelph. From coordinating logistics for diverse international student events to leading anti-bullying outreach for schools in Africa, I’ve championed inclusive environments and supported others in reaching their full potential—values I’m thrilled to carry forward at Willowbridge.

As someone who genuinely thrives on detail-oriented tasks—crafting board packages, tracking policy revisions, preparing accreditation materials—I am confident my proven project management experience (PMP-certified) and ability to handle sensitive information with professionalism will elevate the operations of your Executive Director’s office. More than that, I am eager to be part of a team that believes in meaningful connection and treats quality improvement not just as a process, but as a pathway to better service and stronger communities.

Thank you for considering my application. I’m excited about the opportunity to support Willowbridge’s mission, celebrate its successes, and help shape its future. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to a culture that embraces innovation, nurtures relationships, and leads with heart.

Warm regards,

Ashley Davison-Eke PMP
