@frances
I keep executives, projects, travel, records, and business operations moving smoothly from anywhere.
What I'm looking for
I've supported directors and senior leaders across UAE real estate, manufacturing, engineering, and project environments for more than 14 years. At MAG Group, I supported the Projects Director and engineering teams with meetings, reports, presentations, project documentation, timelines, and follow-up.
I implemented and managed a structured Request for Information process at MAG Group, improving ownership, traceability, and follow-up for project queries and responses. Previously, at SFC Fasteners Manufacturing LLC and the Private Office of H.H. Sheikh Nahyan Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, I handled confidential executive support, travel and visa arrangements, correspondence, HR administration, records, and stakeholder coordination.
My background also includes document control at BK Gulf LLC, administrative support at Dome Engineering Consultants, and travel coordination at Desert City Holidays LLC. I bring practical experience in invoices, payables, receivables, procurement, banking, property documentation, itineraries, and customer inquiries.
Today, I manage online ventures involving content creation, Amazon KDP publishing, e-commerce, and handmade products. I'm Dubai-based and ready to bring organized, discreet, dependable remote support to an Executive Assistant or Virtual Assistant role.
