About Me
Hello there my name is Shai, originally from England. I am an experienced professional with a varied skill set seeking a remote opportunity. With my diverse background and a proven track record in various roles, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to your team.
I hold three bachelors of science degrees one in Sociology, with a minor in Communications, the second in graphic/web design minoring in Project Management and the third in Marketing with a minor in Human Resources. Over the years, I've seamlessly transitioned into roles such as Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Virtual Assistant, and Project Manager, showcasing my adaptability and strong organisational skills. My journey has included publishing written works, managing global teams, running a small event planning business, and becoming successful in the HR\Recruiting space.
I really enjoy travelling and planning the details of trips. Seeing the world in different ways with different ways of thinking and doing is what I enjoy most. I try to apply what I learn to my daily life. We are all more alike than we are different. When I am at home I enjoy city biking, street and portrait photography, eating at many different restaurants and having great cocktails.
