What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in project management and administrative support across various sectors. My experience includes working as a Project Manager in Afghanistan, where I successfully oversaw construction projects and managed contracts worth over $300,000. I have also held roles as an Executive Assistant and Program Coordinator, where I honed my organizational and communication skills, ensuring seamless operations and effective collaboration with teams.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to manage complex schedules, coordinate events, and support executive leadership. My role as a CMS Assistant involved updating website content and member information, while my time at Good Shepherd Housing allowed me to contribute to community support initiatives, successfully housing families in need. I take pride in my ability to adapt to new challenges and deliver results that align with organizational goals.
