What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining executive support, data analysis (Python/Excel), and process improvement in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization.

I am an Executive Assistant at a global consulting firm since April 2022, managing complex calendars, international travel, client meetings, LCT contract logging, invoice processing, and precise budget and expense management to ensure seamless executive operations.

I leverage advanced Microsoft Office tools, Python, and Excel for data handling and analysis, drive process improvements, and contributed to an internal IT initiative by preparing and presenting IT skills talks to improve team productivity.

My academic background in biology (MSc, BSc) and Ph.D. research experience sharpened my analytical rigor; I have co-authored research papers, led field data collection, and organized major academic events and teaching activities that demonstrate leadership and collaborative execution.
