What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my strategic planning and project management skills in a dynamic environment, with opportunities for growth and impact.

I am an experienced and results-oriented professional with over a decade of experience in various high-level roles, including Senior Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff, and Head of Events. My career has spanned diverse sectors such as Sport, Health, Social Policy, Academia, and Non-Profit. I have a proven track record in managing high-profile events, leading governance initiatives, and securing significant funding for UK charities, including over £1 million.

Recently, I established the KSA Schools Sports Association in Riyadh, where I successfully planned and executed sports projects while engaging with key stakeholders, including government officials and educational institutions. My ability to manage complex projects and coordinate resources has been instrumental in driving organizational success and innovation.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong leadership skills, strategic planning capabilities, and a commitment to excellence. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about making a positive impact through my work.
