What I'm looking for

I seek a role providing executive-level support in an international or diplomatic setting where discretion, protocol expertise, stakeholder coordination, and opportunities to support high-level decision-making are valued.

I am a seasoned executive and programme support professional with over six years of experience supporting Under-Secretary-General–level leadership, Ambassadors, and senior executives in international and diplomatic environments. I bring discretion, precision, and sound judgment to high-pressure settings.

I have provided direct executive support, managed complex calendars, drafted and quality-controlled briefing notes, and coordinated high-level engagements with governments, UN entities, development partners, and financial institutions. I contributed to establishing the Common Leveraging Union of Borrowers (CLUB) and supported high-level events, missions, and negotiations.

I am calm, reliable, and highly adaptable, known for cultural sensitivity, confidentiality, and strong stakeholder engagement. I am committed to enabling timely strategic decision-making through meticulous records management, protocol adherence, and diplomatic communication.
