What I'm looking for

I seek a role providing administrative or coordination responsibilities in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization where I can apply I/O psychology insights, streamline operations, and support events or research while continuing to learn new tools.

I am a psychology graduate specialized in Industrial/Organizational Psychology with hands-on experience supporting clinical and event operations. I combine strong administrative skills with psychological insight to improve workflows and stakeholder communications.

I have provided virtual assistance and in-person volunteer support, managing calendars, inboxes, travel, vendor research, invoicing, and record-keeping using tools like QuickBooks, Expensify, MS Office, Google Workspace, Asana, Trello, and Slack.

My background includes internship experience with an international organization where I coordinated events, summarized large publications, and supported field schedules, demonstrating strong transcription, documentation, and report-writing abilities.

I am detail-oriented, data-confidentiality focused, and adaptable to new technologies, committed to delivering high-quality administrative and research support in fast-paced environments.
