What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to coordinate high-quality events, manage stakeholder relationships, improve event operations, and contribute my project coordination and administrative experience.

I've delivered corporate conferences, trade summits, and executive events, including the East Africa Trade, Treasury and Commodities Summit 2025 at Merge Events. I managed the full event process from concept to post-event reporting, alongside programming, logistics, venue setup, branding, and guest experience.

My work brings together sponsorship and partnership management, stakeholder engagement, project coordination, and event operations. I keep sessions on schedule, prepare moderators, coordinate internal teams and partners, and streamline workflows so events run seamlessly.

I've also supported executives and finance operations at Global Policy House and handled administration at Transglobal Loss Adjusters & Surveyors, including confidential documentation, calendars, travel, correspondence, and team coordination.
