What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead project scheduling, stakeholder coordination, vendor/contract administration, and executive reporting—ensuring initiatives are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with organizational priorities.

I’m a Project & Operations Coordinator with 10+ years of experience coordinating cross-functional projects, managing stakeholder relationships, and supporting the successful delivery of operational initiatives across international organizations.

In my current role at NEOM Community School, I coordinate cross-functional projects with leadership, staff, contractors, vendors, and external stakeholders. I manage project schedules, meetings, action items, and workflow coordination—facilitating alignment across departments so initiatives stay on track with organizational objectives.

Across previous operations roles at American International School (Jeddah), Abdul Latif Jameel Hospital, and the U.S. Consulate General, I handled vendor and contractor coordination, contract administration, project documentation, and risk identification. I also monitored project progress, resolved operational issues, supported quality compliance, and prepared executive reporting to keep leadership informed.

I’m known for clear communication across multidisciplinary teams and for turning operational complexity into dependable execution. I received the “Extra Mile Award” for exemplary service and outstanding performance, and I bring that same ownership to every project I coordinate.
