What I'm looking for

I'm seeking opportunities where I can apply security risk management, humanitarian access, crisis coordination, logistics, and administrative experience to support safe, resilient operations and effective collaboration.

I am a Security, Operations, Administration, and Research Professional with 37+ years of experience, including 18 years with the Bangladesh Navy and 19 years with the United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS).

My expertise includes security and risk management, emergency preparedness, crisis response, operations coordination, administration, stakeholder liaison, research, documentation, and remote collaboration. I have worked extensively with international organizations, government authorities, law-enforcement agencies, and diverse teams in complex and high-pressure environments.

Since April 2026, I have been working remotely as a Freelance Consultant, Research Assistant, and Content & Digital Marketing Specialist, providing advisory support in safety, security, risk management, and research.

I am now seeking remote opportunities in Operations, Administration, Research, Customer Support, Security & Risk, Virtual Assistance, Content, and Business Support where I can contribute my experience, reliability, communication skills, and strong work ethic.
