Harriet in a few words
With over a decade of experience in project coordination and operations, I have built a career around organization, efficiency, and problem-solving. My background spans the horticultural, luxury, and events sectors, where I successfully managed high-profile projects, coordinated large-scale operations, and streamlined workflows to enhance productivity.
Previously, I held a senior role at the Royal Horticultural Society, overseeing the administration and operations of a 200-strong judging department. This experience sharpened my ability to manage complex logistics, stakeholder communications, and process improvements at scale.
Now, as a freelance project coordinator, I support businesses, organizations, and entrepreneurs by handling project logistics, event planning, volunteer management, and operational support. Whether it's structuring workflows, managing key stakeholders, or ensuring seamless day-to-day operations, I bring a strategic yet hands-on approach to every project. Fluent in English and French, I thrive in dynamic environments where adaptability and attention to detail are key.
