What I'm looking for
I am a resourceful and detail-oriented professional with a strong foundation in communication, education, and biotechnology.

I thrive in fast-paced, remote-first roles that challenge me to build rapport with diverse audiences.
Currently, I serve as an Administrative Assistant at Birrama PLC, where I handle scheduling, email correspondence, and stakeholder communication. I also founded ACE Test Prep, a tutoring company that has successfully grown to 40 customers within two months of launching. My commitment to optimizing service delivery has resulted in significant improvements in student outcomes.
In addition to my professional roles, I lead an NGO called Future Scholars in Biology, which supports high school students interested in biological and medical research.
