I develop and deliver multi-sector projects while leading operations, HR, and administration.

Message

I'm currently overseeing multi-sector project development and operations at A Creative Affair, spanning hospitality, events, and creative industries. I lead feasibility studies, business models, project delivery, team coordination, client relations, and brand activations across F&B, fashion, and experiential entertainment.

Previously, I supported operational, financial, procurement, travel, recruitment, and regional project processes at UNDP. At UNHCR, I spent seven years managing administrative operations, supporting people of concern, coordinating projects and partners, and serving as focal point for the digitization of half a million physical files.

I've also managed HR functions including recruitment, payroll, attendance, employee relations, benefits, performance evaluations, and labor-law compliance. My background combines project management, administration, HR, operations, stakeholder coordination, and team supervision.
