What I'm looking for

I want to continue providing executive, operational, and administrative support in fast-paced environments, where I can manage confidential documentation, coordinate schedules and travel, and strengthen internal and client communications with strong tech and organization.

I’m a resourceful, tech-savvy Executive Assistant & Administrative Professional with 5+ years of experience providing executive, operational, and creative support across defense, real estate, design, and digital media. I bring exceptional organization, confidentiality, and cross-functional collaboration, while keeping projects moving through clear communication and strong client engagement strategies.

In my Executive Assistant (Contract) role at ASELSAN, I supported the General Manager by managing complex scheduling, travel logistics, and confidential correspondence with international partners. I coordinated tender documentation, procurement processes, and compliance submissions, and I organized visits from international delegations alongside cross-functional meetings. I also created internal newsletters and LinkedIn posts to strengthen company visibility.

Earlier, as a Junior Interior Designer, I assisted senior designers with space planning, design documentation, and material sourcing. I handled client communication and produced visual presentations and digital layouts using Adobe InDesign and AutoCAD, focusing on timely delivery and design integrity.

As an Executive Assistant supporting the CEO and Business Development Executives at Urbantrend Group, I managed email correspondence, calendar scheduling, and client coordination, including preparation of POPI-compliant documentation and real estate proposals. I work confidently with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Notion, Monday.com, HubSpot, Calendly, and Adobe Creative tools, and I’m driven to keep administrative operations precise, responsive, and privacy-focused.
