What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply administrative, procurement, and HR skills to improve processes, ensure compliance, and support operational efficiency in a collaborative, mission-driven team.

I am a detail-oriented administrative professional with nearly three years of progressive experience supporting both government and private organizations, primarily at the Philippine Rice Research Institute. I specialize in administrative operations, fund processing, procurement support, reimbursements, and logistics for vehicle and project operations.

Throughout my roles I processed high-volume transactions (averaging 450+ monthly), managed reimbursements and fuel documentation, coordinated procurement and emergency supply purchases, and supported HR processes including recruitment and onboarding. My work improved timeliness of approvals, ensured compliance with institutional policies, and supported continuous operational readiness for motor pool and division staff.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Major in Human Resource Management), completed HR and analytics certifications, and passed the Civil Service (Professional Level). I am resourceful, process-driven, and committed to accurate recordkeeping and efficient administrative support.
