What I'm looking for
I am a project, operations, and administrative professional with experience across construction, legal services, healthcare, executive support, and remote business operations.
My background includes progressing from Administrative Assistant to General Manager within a construction company, where I supported more than 50 employees, coordinated several projects at once, worked with municipal and government tender processes, managed operational issues, and improved internal tracking and follow-up. One of my key achievements was helping resolve a five-week land approval delay and introducing a central project tracker to improve visibility and accountability.
I have also worked in legal administration, supporting attorneys with case preparation, research, document drafting, court filings, scheduling, and confidential records. My healthcare administration experience strengthened my ability to manage high-volume environments, coordinate schedules, maintain accurate records, and work with multiple stakeholders.
In remote executive support, I worked with a US-based CEO across three time zones. I managed calendars, meetings, travel arrangements, visa coordination, expenses, meeting minutes, action items, and administrative systems. I am comfortable working independently, communicating across international teams, and supporting senior leaders in fast-paced environments.
My strengths include project coordination, operations, stakeholder management, scheduling, process improvement, document management, reporting, research, problem-solving, and executive support. I have experience with tools including Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Slack, Teams, Zoom, Trello, Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, QuickBooks, Xero, and cloud-based document systems.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree with majors in Psychology, Anthropology, and Law. My academic background has strengthened my research, communication, analytical, and people-focused skills. I have also completed training in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence and machine learning.
I am particularly interested in Project Coordinator, Project Manager, Operations Coordinator, Operations Manager, Compliance Coordinator, Construction Project Support, and similar roles. I am also interested in opportunities within construction, technology, supply chain, pharmaceutical operations, FMCG, professional services, and other structured, process-driven environments.
I am most motivated by roles where I can organise complex work, improve systems, solve operational problems, coordinate people and deadlines, and help teams deliver work efficiently. I am also interested in remote and international opportunities where I can contribute to growing organisations and take on increasing responsibility over time.
