What I'm looking for

I’m available for freelance project coordination, research, administrative and operational support.

At Oxfam Intermón, I support accountability and documentation processes in the Compliance Unit, including audit materials and recurring reporting requirements. I also coordinate meetings and follow up on actions across teams and stakeholders.

Previously, I supported the operational implementation of Oxfam Intermón’s Tejiendo Derechos Project, coordinating activities, events, documentation and deadlines. I handled contracts, invoices, payments and travel arrangements, and coordinated event vendor procurement for the Wake Up Rights project.

My earlier work included supporting recruitment and onboarding processes at Action Against Hunger across international missions. I also conducted research on geopolitical developments, food and water security, and sustainable development at the European Council on Foreign Relations and as a research assistant.

I’m available for freelance project coordination, research, administrative and operational support. My work includes desk research, Excel trackers, reporting, meeting coordination, stakeholder support and preparation of professional documents.
