Visiting Lecturer Academic Staff College / School: School of Organisations, Economy and Society

I assist my professors with administration and organisation where possible. I have recently volunteered to assist with graduate level field trips to Prague and Stratford and have been involved with Open Days and student cohesion.

Within this role, I helped to coordinate the distribution of Maatouk coffee from the United Arab Emirates to Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom.

Working with the CEO of the startup, I had experience with the sales and distribution teams supplying the product to independent shops across London. This experience included distributing the product at an international exhibition ('Taste of London')

I worked with a team of 15 people in the main purchasing department for the Ksa Khorbar Aramco office, which employed 5,000+ staff. I was responsible for assisting the head purchaser find suppliers and order of materials, supplies, and/or equipment, and the follow through with vendors on shipment and delivery. In addition, I maintained records and follow up files of purchases, shipments, and related matters. In this position I developed very strong organisational skills and worked with strict procedures and guidelines.
