People Operations Planner

ABOUT ME

I am an International Business professional with experience in marketing research and business development.

Skilled in identifying growth opportunities; and developing viable business strategies, thinking outside the box.

I consider myself a liaison as my work has revolved around managing communication and at times, while teaching English, facilitating it.

I have been able to enrich and adapt to different working cultures, adjusting to the different countries where I have both worked, studied, and lived the most recent ones Jordan, China, the U.A.E. and currently Kuwait; helping me to develop cross cultural communications skills; skills that I believe facilitate your goals in business.

It’s a thrill and passion engaging in different cultures while building a profile towards a new opportunity in International Development and Affairs.
