  • Event & Workshop Management: Lead the logistical planning for events, workshops, and office openings (e.g., managing catering, AV requirements, and guest invitations).
  • Record Keeping: Maintain meticulous records of official correspondence, meeting minutes, and invitations to ensure an organized digital and physical filing system.
  • Administrative Tasks: Handle diverse administrative duties such as expense processing, travel arrangements, and ad-hoc support for project teams.
