I am a passionate professional dedicated to creating a positive and inclusive work environment by demonstrating integrity, and showcasing strong leadership skills. I have a proven track record of adaptability in many of my roles, including Head of Department in the film industry and Administration/Project Management Support at Wipro IT and Carillion. In the film industry, I have excelled in diverse roles such as being the first point of contact to the cast, handling paperwork, scheduling, communicating with stakeholders, and leading a team.

While working in the UK, I provided crucial administrative and project management support, fostering communication and diffusing high-stress situations. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute my experience to a dynamic and innovative company. I look forward to thriving in a challenging and inclusive work environment while finding my place in a company that supports the long term stability I am looking for.
