What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values organizational skills and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a highly organized and detail-oriented Administrator with over 15 years of experience providing administrative support to senior executives in international settings. My career has been marked by a proven ability to manage calendars, coordinate meetings, and handle confidential information with discretion. I excel at multitasking and prioritizing tasks to ensure smooth operations in dynamic environments.

In my current role as National Program Administrator at the Embassy of Sweden in Liberia, I have successfully procured goods and services, managed Audit Framework Agreements, and conducted project risk assessments. My experience also includes leading event planning, managing HR matters, and mentoring new program administrators. I have a strong background in stakeholder management, having developed and executed strategies to support operational plans in various capacities, including my previous roles with the United Nations and Liberia Revenue Authority.
