Summary
Being an expat in Dubai for the past sixteen years, travelling and experiencing different cultures has been integral to how I define myself. I have enjoyed working in the school environment over the past eight years in various administration roles, which has trained me to provide excellent customer service. Being proficient in both Google and Microsoft documents and spreadsheets has taught me to have a fantastic eye for detail. Being a team player is essential, and I work exceptionally well with others. Having had many years in administration roles, I am detail-oriented with a superior understanding of office management. I am committed to running an office with organization and honest feedback. Dedication, motivation, and a solid work ethic have seen me grow successfully in my working career.
