I offer tailored and comprehensive team management and technical management services to various clients within the asylum seeker and refugee support network in Swansea. In addition to developing project and administration skills, I also have had direct experience of working closely with people who have lived experience of seeking sanctuary. Key responsibilities:

• Input and management of data on internal systems, ensuring accuracy, efficiency and confidentiality in information handling.

• Facilitating the planning, promotion and execution of both online and in-person events, with a focus on initiatives during Refugee Week and year-round events including AGMs.

• Maintaining and updating client websites, managing several social media platforms.

• Managing inboxes, coordinating communications with internal and external stakeholders, maintaining calendars, drafting agendas, and recording minutes.

• Develop digital and physical content, including leaflets, posters, infographics, exhibition panels, social media content and newsletters.

I have provided technical, communication and team management support for several research projects within The OU. These responsibilities have included data collection and archiving, coordination with stakeholders, social media management, and maintaining project websites. I have also supported The OU's journey to becoming a University of Sanctuary, overseeing meetings, organising data, and undergoing promotional initiatives. During my time at The OU, I have supported the coordination of several online conferences. Most notably, I led a day-long conference aimed at enhancing access to higher education and employment for forced migrants. Responsibilities included agenda setting, documentation management, promotion, briefing of presenters, and post-event report production.

I designed and undertook research which aimed to understand audience engagement at a virtual Pride event. Having created and distributed in depth surveys to achieve qualitative and quantitative data for analysis, I provided the team with an overview of the findings through clear data visualisation and a summary report.
