My professional experience has centred on program coordination, project support, stakeholder engagement, and administration. A significant part of my career was with an organisation focused on strengthening industry–academia linkages through partnerships with international training providers and non-government organisations (NGOs). This experience provided me with valuable exposure to collaborative program delivery and the coordination of initiatives involving multiple stakeholders and partner organisations. I hold an MBA and a Diploma in Project Management, and throughout my career I have worked with people from a wide range of cultural, professional, and organisational backgrounds.

As a member of the project team, I contributed to the planning, coordination, and delivery of professional development and training programs. My responsibilities included coordinating the candidates' selection processes, supporting continuous assessment activities, liaising with academic institutions and external stakeholders, and preparing and maintaining a range of program and administrative documentation. I supported programs throughout their lifecycle, from initial planning and implementation through to completion, helping ensure that activities were well coordinated and delivered effectively. I have also developed experience in budgeting and financial administration, including monitoring project expenditure, supporting financial planning, and ensuring the effective use of program resources. I worked closely with project teams to ensure activities remained within approved budgets and were delivered in accordance with organisational policies, procedures, and stakeholder requirements.
