Organized bilingual professional specializing in administrative support, instruction, and operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly organized bilingual professional with a Bachelor of Education (French) and hands-on experience across administrative support, education, and customer-facing operations. I have supported senior leadership as a Virtual Personal Assistant, managing complex schedules, travel logistics, and confidential records while ensuring smooth stakeholder engagement.
As a French teacher I designed and delivered curriculum-aligned lessons using communicative and technology-enhanced methods, and I have practical frontline experience as a cashier and sales representative where I handled POS systems, cash reconciliation, inventory tasks, and customer service. My background also includes debt collection and project tracking, which strengthened my negotiation, documentation, and reporting skills.
I bring attention to detail, strong communication in French, English, and Swahili, and a commitment to operational excellence. I seek roles where I can apply my administrative strengths, language skills, and cross-functional experience to improve processes and support teams effectively.
