What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, mission-driven role where I can combine administration and counseling to support leadership, manage programs, and drive positive community impact.

I am an organized, proactive professional who supports leadership and drives operational initiatives with discretion and care.

With a Bachelor of Arts in Counseling Psychology (minor in Computer Science) and practical experience in administrative leadership, program coordination, and clinical practicum work, I bridge people-centered practice with execution-focused operations.

As Secretary General at ProjectAmani Charity Foundation I coordinate priorities, manage high-level scheduling and documentation, prepare stakeholder reports, and support program planning and delivery, serving as a trusted point of contact for leadership.

My counseling practicum and volunteer experience delivering emotional support and therapeutic activities enhance my empathy, communication, and client-focused approach; I am detail-oriented, solution-focused, and eager to contribute to high-performance teams.
