What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can optimise operations, lead HR/administrative functions, support senior leadership, and drive process improvements in a collaborative culture.

I am an Executive Assistant and Office Manager with over six years of experience delivering high-quality administrative and HR support across education, development, and private sectors.

I have a strong track record in diary management, travel logistics, event organisation, payroll preparation, and procurement, which have consistently improved operational efficiency and reduced costs.

I led HR administrative functions including recruitment, working permit documentation, and staff well-being initiatives, while also supporting senior executives and fostering cross-team collaboration.

I am process-oriented, adaptable, and committed to continuous improvement, with additional strengths in stakeholder engagement, marketing materials development, and security and compliance practices.
