What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a detail-oriented and proactive professional with a strong background in administrative support, project coordination, and finance operations. My experience spans over a decade, during which I have demonstrated an ability to manage complex tasks and coordinate with diverse teams effectively. I thrive in fast-paced, remote environments, utilizing digital tools to enhance efficiency and communication.

Currently, as a Project Management Specialist at TechPlain Ltd, I coordinate cross-functional teams to deliver projects on time and within budget. My role involves managing schedules and communications for senior executives, implementing digital tools to streamline workflows, and maintaining confidentiality of sensitive information. Previously, I have held positions that required oversight of financial operations and strategic business development, contributing significantly to organizational growth and efficiency.
