What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a multi-disciplinary Operations Generalist role where I can own administration, records, and reporting, strengthen HR and policy documentation, and use Excel/SPSS/Power BI to support measurable operational improvements.

I’m a versatile Operations Generalist with a Master's degree (Distinction) in Educational Management, grounded in Human Resource Management, Personnel Administration, and Policy & Planning. I coordinate office administration, facilities processes, and cross-functional reporting, ensuring records are accurate, timely, and ready for leadership decisions.

Across academic, public, and private settings, I’ve maintained and updated CRM systems, managed research and administrative logistics, and delivered structured reporting using Excel, SPSS, and Power BI. I also support process improvement through clear documentation, policy/procedure writing, and dependable stakeholder coordination—bringing analytical rigor and administrative discipline to every operation.
