What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead operations or logistics, manage facilities and events, contribute to process improvements, and work within a collaborative, mission-driven team.

I am a results-driven administrative and logistics professional with over 20 years' experience supporting legal organizations, commercial property operations, and USAID-funded international development projects. I combine strong governance, risk, and regulatory knowledge with hands-on logistics and facilities management to deliver reliable operational support.

My experience spans facility management, procurement, event planning, project coordination, and executive administration across regional and international contexts. I have led property maintenance programs, managed budgets and vendor contracts, coordinated high-level events and study tours, and supported senior executives in complex, deadline-driven environments.

I am committed to operational excellence, cost-efficiency, and strong stakeholder relationships, and I bring a track record of recognition for going above and beyond, including awards for outstanding service and performance.
