to supporting the centre’s mission. I have been responsible for a wide range of administrative tasks, from coordinating workshops and maintaining client records to handling communications and ensuring the smooth operation of the centre.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my role has been the opportunity to support the entrepreneurial journeys of our clients.
I am particularly proud of the centre’s success in organizing and executing a variety of events and programs throughout the year. These initiatives have not only raised awareness of our work but have also provided valuable opportunities for our clients to network, learn, and grow. I have been fortunate to play a key role in the planning and implementation of these events, from coordinating logistics.

administrator and to contribute meaningfully to the centre’s mission. I am particularly proud of the progress we have made in supporting our clients and fostering a culture of innovation and social change.
I am excited to continue my work at the centre in the coming year and to contribute to its ongoing success. I believe that the centre has a bright future ahead, and I am committed to helping it achieve its goals.
