Message

At British Embassy Beirut, I coordinated operational and property projects, including maintenance and improvement work across embassy properties and residential compounds. I worked with contractors and suppliers, monitored site work, and prepared project and compliance records.

Previously, as Senior Estates & Project Officer, I managed project delivery, procurement, and a major operational budget, while supporting health and safety, crisis response logistics, and business continuity. My experience also includes regional operations at AVMEA FZC and procurement and logistics supervision at Beirut Container Terminal Consortium (BCTC).
