What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can streamline operations, manage finance and administration, coordinate events, and support leadership in an efficient, collaborative environment.

I am an experienced office manager and administrative professional who ensures processes run smoothly across finance, coordination, administration, and logistics. I build structure, monitor progress, and resolve problems early so colleagues can focus on substantive work and innovation.

My background includes office and finance roles at international organizations, implementing improved administrative systems, establishing accounting processes, coordinating large events and trainings, and supporting boards and senior leadership. I bring practical, hands-on experience in procurement, HR onboarding, facility management, and international logistics with a focus on efficiency and a pleasant workplace.
