What I'm looking for

I seek roles providing administrative and logistical leadership in hospitality or training, with opportunities to design processes, deliver culinary instruction, and work in multicultural teams.

I am an experienced administrative and hospitality professional with an MBA and a strong background in logistics, client services, and culinary instruction. I deliver high-level support and consultancy across multicultural environments, focusing on operational efficiency and service quality.

Over my career I have provided consultancy and logistical services to hospitality clients, Peace Corps Uganda, Gorilla Tours Ltd, and international organizations, and I teach gourmet cooking and develop training programs. I have a proven record in developing SOPs, managing vendor relationships, and coordinating complex training and travel logistics.

I bring strong organizational, analytical, and interpersonal skills, proficiency in Microsoft Office and SAP, and a passion for designing practical solutions that enhance team performance and customer satisfaction.
