What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my skills and experience in administration and procurement to drive operational excellence and contribute to the growth of the organization.

As a seasoned administrative professional with a passion for driving operational excellence, I have a proven track record of innovating administration and procurement for seamless efficiency. With a strong background in procurement, supply chain management, and administration, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to build strong vendor relationships, optimize costs, and improve workflow processes.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various roles, including Head of Administration and Procurement, Administrative Officer, and Office Administrator, where I have honed my skills in data analysis, reporting, and project management. My expertise in vendor relationship management, cost optimization, and inventory and supply chain oversight has enabled me to make significant contributions to my previous organizations.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Procurement and Supply Chain Management from Kenya Methodist University and am currently pursuing a Master's degree in International Relations from United States International University. I am also certified in Project Management and Introduction to Office and Administrative Management from Alison University.
