I'm an administrative and legal assistant with more than two decades of experience providing administrative support to various organisations. I am a private entrepreneur and the sole owner of Mali ured Ltd., which provides administrative services.
In my roles, I have coordinated national and EU projects, drafted official acts, maintained labour and legal documentation, organised events and meetings, handled budgeting and financial planning. I'm fluent in English, proficient with MS Office, Canva, Zoom, and collaborative tools, and I enjoy bridging the gap between legal frameworks and practical project execution. I can easily adapt to different environments and management styles and maintain a strong sense of responsibility in daily administrative duties.
