Throughout my career, I have built strong skills in administration, project coordination and logistics.

I just finished my assignment as the Projects & Event Coordinator for the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) Association, a non-profit, non-government organisation based in Amsterdam and operating across more than 130 countries. As part of this role I worked closely with a diverse team, planning and executing training events and annual conferences, coordinating administration and operations projects, coaching junior staff and monitoring and improving processes to achieve best practice. I have vast experience interacting, liaising and influencing external stakeholders, national offices, suppliers, volunteers and team members.

In addition, I am resourceful, analytic and have an eye for detail and have repeatedly proven my ability to meet deadlines. I welcome working in collaborative and informal environments, and I have the ability to build constructive, trusting relationships quickly. I can effectively manage my time and enjoy working in multicultural environments. I speak fluent English and Spanish.

I look forward to further demonstrating my suitability and will make myself available on your request. Please note, I am eligible to work in the Netherlands. Should you require any further information, please do hesitate to contact me.
