Urska Ota
@urskaota
Project coordinator and translator with expertise in EU funds, reporting, and event organization.
What I'm looking for
I’m a project coordinator with hands-on experience in project administration, financial and resource management, reporting, and organizing meetings, workshops, and cultural events. I’m comfortable coordinating logistics, timelines, and stakeholders while keeping deliverables clear and on track.
Before and alongside my current role, I built strong communication and documentation skills as a language teacher and translator for Italian, Slovenian, and English. I also supported administrative and project-related work, including EU funds management and financial reporting for EU-funded projects across Italy, Slovenia, Austria, and Croatia.
I’ve coordinated public tenders, liaised with accountants, banks, and suppliers, and supported cash flow and balance sheet preparation. I’ve also organized and attended board meetings, including high-profile events with government representatives, which strengthened my ability to manage sensitive stakeholders professionally.
Outside project work, I managed my family’s olive oil business—handling marketing, administrative management, e-commerce, and online presence management (including WordPress and graphic design). I’m now developing further through ongoing Data Analysis studies, while staying focused on practical, well-run execution.
