What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a fast-paced academic or office environment where I can apply recruitment, administrative, and communications skills, maintain confidentiality, and support organisational efficiency.

I am an organised and approachable administrative professional with a background in international relations, recruitment, digital communication, and customer service. I have experience managing records, coordinating logistics, and acting as a first point of contact in dynamic office environments.

In my recent role as Student Recruitment Officer for the East Africa region, I planned and executed recruitment events, conducted one-on-one student guidance, and collaborated with partners to improve recruitment outcomes by 60%.

I have practical experience in social media management, candidate sourcing, invoicing, database management, and Microsoft Office, and I have supported administrative functions in healthcare and educational settings while maintaining confidentiality and streamlined filing systems.

I hold a BA (Hons) in International Relations and have completed professional courses in humanitarian response and related topics; I am eager to contribute to a fast-paced academic department with a commitment to excellence, discretion, and continuous improvement.
