What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a remote-first organization that values creativity and efficiency, where I can leverage my skills in administration and marketing.

I am a highly motivated Administrative and Marketing professional with over 9 years of experience in office administration, project coordination, and client relationship management. My expertise lies in utilizing digital tools and fostering cross-functional communication to thrive in dynamic environments. I have a strong background in sales, logistics, event planning, and stakeholder engagement, which has equipped me to excel in various roles.

Currently, I serve as a Sales and Marketing Executive at Urban Nest Real Estate Agency, where I execute digital marketing campaigns and promote services through social media platforms. My previous role as an Administrative Assistant Manager at the Centre for Infectious Diseases Research in Zambia allowed me to provide high-level administrative support and manage confidential documents effectively. I am eager to contribute to online, remote-first organizations that value creativity, efficiency, and self-motivation.
