What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a mission-driven organization where I can own program coordination and administrative operations—managing logistics, schedules, stakeholder communication, and documentation—while supporting fast-paced teams with discretion, adaptability, and strong follow-through.

I’m a highly organized administrative and operations professional with over 15 years of experience coordinating complex programs, managing schedules, supporting multidisciplinary teams, and building relationships with diverse stakeholders in education and nonprofit environments. I’m skilled at logistics, accurate records, meeting coordination, and managing competing priorities in fast-paced, international settings.

My background spans education and program support—from coordinating educational programs and volunteer training at a nonprofit science center to delivering continuity in substitute teaching across multiple schools. I also ran an independent English tutoring practice, managing scheduling and records for more than 20 clients, and taught 250+ students online, documenting progress in Google Workspace to guide instruction.
