What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values operational efficiency and supports professional growth.

With over 10 years of experience as an Administrative Assistant and Program Support professional, I have honed my skills in office management, logistics administration, and budget management. My career has been dedicated to enhancing operational efficiency through the formulation and implementation of organizational policies. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively, handle confidential information, and maintain professionalism in all interactions with clients and stakeholders.

In my current role as a Personal Assistant to the Director at Kathy’s Fresh Limited, I manage office operations, streamline processes, and oversee HR functions. My previous experience at Family Health International (FHI360) allowed me to coordinate program activities and logistics for significant projects, ensuring compliance and effective communication among diverse groups. I am committed to delivering excellence and aligning my work with organizational goals and values.
