What I'm looking for
I am a social work graduate with over three years' professional experience delivering administrative support across education, social service, and nonprofit settings. I excel at managing office operations, coordinating documentation, maintaining client records, and supporting program delivery with a client-focused mindset.
I have hands-on experience coordinating logistics for trainings and outreach, organizing community mental health events, and preparing reports and schedules—work that improved program efficiency and stakeholder engagement. As a small-business owner I procured inventory and managed online marketing and sales, sharpening my operations and communication skills while maintaining strict confidentiality and strong Microsoft Office and Google Workspace proficiency.
