What I'm looking for

I'm exploring operations, project coordination, executive support, and business administration opportunities where I can contribute through strong organisation, initiative, and people-focused support.

At Sutton Global, I coordinated executive priorities across international projects and operational teams, structuring information and tracking key activities to support leadership decision-making.

I've also supported senior leadership and high-volume client operations at Duncan MacGregor Accounting and ALBA - Taxes in Portugal, managing schedules, compliance processes, client onboarding, VAT and Social Security declarations, and account follow-up.

I bring a service-oriented approach to operations, project coordination, executive support, and business administration. I value integrity, continuous learning, positive relationships, and helping teams operate effectively.
