Detail-oriented Operations Coordinator with a passion for efficiency.
What I'm looking for
I am an Operations Coordinator with over 4 years of experience in managing logistics and organizational activities. My expertise lies in making critical decisions, managing teams, and optimizing processes to enhance operational efficiency. I have a proven track record of improving efficiency, managing budgets, and fostering strong client relationships.
Currently, I lead the coordination of multiple projects at PREMAP in Kenya, where I streamline operations and ensure compliance with HR, logistics, and security procedures. My previous role as an Operations & Logistics Officer for the USAID Nawiri Project allowed me to develop policies that increased operational efficiency by 15%, showcasing my ability to drive impactful changes in community projects.
With a strong educational background in International Relations and Public Relations, I am committed to leveraging my skills in project management, event planning, and vendor management to contribute positively to any organization I join. I thrive in environments that challenge me to grow and make a difference.
