What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles that blend client experience with hands-on operations—where I can coordinate logistics and vendors, support documentation and compliance, and contribute to business development in consulting or hospitality settings.

I’m an International Hospitality Management graduate with a strong foundation in client experience, operational coordination, and business support. I’ve built my strengths across guest-facing roles, pre-opening operations, and day-to-day logistics.

In my assistant and floor leadership experience, I oversaw logistics, inventory, and vendor coordination—managing records, orders, delivery scheduling, and supply issues to keep projects on time. I’ve also supported documentation and compliance through roles like Airport Inspector Trainee during the Hajj season.

My hospitality background includes pre-opening service readiness, guest flow setup, and handling service issue resolution during peak hours. I also combined customer service with digital outreach as a Host & Digital Campaigns Assistant, supporting social media promotions and customer engagement.

As an entrepreneur and project lead, I managed end-to-end operations for a coffee roastery (roasting, packaging, inventory, marketing) and coordinated coffee shop setup, supplier management, budgets, timelines, and opening readiness. Now, as an incoming MSc International Business candidate at the University of Exeter, I’m ready to apply analytical and service-focused expertise within consulting, operations, and business development environments.
