About

Professional summary

I am an operations, administrative, and project support professional with international experience across customer support, executive assistance, education, sales, and client-facing environments. I work where people, systems, and day-to-day operations meet, bringing structure, clarity, and dependable follow-through to fast-moving teams.

I have developed practical strengths in remote coordination, stakeholder communication, scheduling, documentation, workflow support, escalation handling, and sensitive-information management. I am comfortable working independently while maintaining clear communication across teams, time zones, and cultures.

Having lived and worked abroad for more than a decade, I adapt quickly to changing priorities and multicultural work environments. I bring a calm, service-oriented approach to problem-solving and enjoy helping colleagues and clients navigate complex processes.

My background includes operations and executive support in financial services, regional coordination, administrative placements, customer support, and international academic support. I have used CRM, ticketing, communication, documentation, and collaboration platforms to support efficient service delivery.

I am actively developing my skills through a Google Project Management Professional Certificate and a BSc in Mechanical Engineering that I am waiting to graduate from. I am particularly interested in remote operations, project coordination, administrative support, customer support, and process-improvement opportunities.

I am based in Vietnam and equipped for reliable remote and asynchronous collaboration, with high-speed internet, backup connectivity, and a dedicated home-work setup.
