What I'm looking for

I’m looking for US-based remote admin/operations work where I can independently manage logistics, coordinate remote teams, and ensure compliance. I thrive in fast-paced environments and I’m available 2pm–10pm SAST to align with US morning operations.

I’m a Senior Administrator with 15 years of experience supporting US-funded programs and academic institutions, delivering reliable operations across time zones. In my current role at BroadReach Healthcare, I managed administrative operations for a 20+ member team while ensuring full USAID compliance, coordinating domestic and international travel, events, and workshop logistics for remote staff and management teams.

I bring measurable results from day-to-day execution: I negotiated vendor pricing, warranties, and shipment terms, reducing operational costs by 12%, trained staff on compliance procedures, and processed T90 HIV/AIDS program targets. I also onboarded suppliers and resolved contract-related claims to improve vendor response times and service delivery—an approach built on professionalism, accuracy, and strong communication.
