@rubahshaimi
Experienced administrative professional with a passion for client relations.
What I'm looking for
I am a warm and highly organized professional with over 10 years of experience in administrative support and client-facing roles. My career has been defined by my ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds, thanks to my multilingual skills in English, Arabic, and German. I have successfully managed daily operations, supported executives, and built strong client relationships, all while maintaining a calm demeanor under pressure.
After taking a meaningful career break to raise my two children, I am eager to return to the workforce with renewed focus and passion. During my time away, I engaged in personal projects and community involvement that further honed my coordination and communication skills. I am particularly drawn to roles that emphasize creativity, teamwork, and human connection, where I can leverage my extensive experience in client relationship management and administrative support.
