What I'm looking for

I seek an administrative role where I can provide executive and office support, streamline processes, manage travel and logistics, and grow into project or operations coordination within a collaborative, professional team.

I am an organized administrative professional with progressive experience supporting leadership, teams, and clients across government, non-profit, and private sectors. I excel at managing communication, scheduling, documentation, and day-to-day office operations.

I have led scheduling and meeting coordination, maintained accurate records and inventories, and produced clear minutes and reports that keep teams aligned. I also managed end-to-end travel arrangements for clients, resolving issues quickly to minimize disruption.

I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering and have completed certifications in travel management, data analysis, project management, human resource management, and digital skills. I blend technical proficiency with strong interpersonal and organisational strengths.

I am committed to creating structured systems that improve productivity and client satisfaction, and I bring a calm, professional approach under pressure to support leaders and teams effectively.
