What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging administrative or executive assistant role in a growth-oriented organization where I can contribute experience, support leadership, and develop my career while helping the organization succeed.

I am an administrative professional with over a decade of experience supporting senior leadership, most recently serving as Secretary to the Deputy Managing Director. I bring dependable organizational skills and a track record of managing complex schedules, communications, and office operations.

Earlier roles as Personal Assistant, Junior Secretary, Production Planner and Account Assistant gave me broad exposure to operations, planning and basic accounting, which strengthens my ability to support cross-functional teams. I have practical experience with Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint and I maintain a professional blog to document my work and perspectives.

Outside of corporate roles, I served as Coordinating Secretary for a national NGO, participating in recruitment and awareness programs, which honed my event coordination and stakeholder communication skills. I am fluent in Sinhala, English and Malay and I use those skills to build rapport across diverse teams.

I am proactive, committed to contributing to organizational development, and focused on continual professional growth. I seek roles where I can apply my administrative expertise, leadership, and operational strengths to support executives and improve office efficiency.
