What I'm looking for

I seek a role in operations or administration within a mission-driven organization where I can apply procurement, logistics, and record-keeping expertise to improve efficiency and compliance.

I am a dedicated Operations & Administration specialist with over 15 years supporting international development programs, known for improving office efficiency and ensuring compliance. I bring deep experience in procurement, inventory control, vendor relations, and logistical coordination.

At Chemonics Kenya I managed procurement, inventory, vehicle logbooks, service contracts, and financial trackers, supporting smooth project implementation and timely financial processes. I have coordinated workshops, maintained filing systems, and supported VAT claims and invoice follow-ups.

Previously I coordinated procurement and national distribution logistics for medical commodities, maintained program databases, and prepared donor reports for Management Sciences for Health. My earlier career included secretarial and administrative roles covering reception, petty cash, travel booking, and data entry.

I hold a Bachelor of Business Management (Purchasing & Supply Chain Management) and certifications including CIPS Level 3 and a Supply Chain Mini Masters. I am passionate about accountability, clear record-keeping, and delivering dependable operational support to teams.
