FREELANCE OPERATIONS & BUSINESS SUPPORTINDIVIDUALS / TEAMS / COMPANIES
Good idea. Messy middle. Meet Holy.
I help people and businesses turn messy operations, scattered information and half-formed ideas into clear systems, useful documents and better customer experiences.
THE THINKING. THE WRITING. THE GETTING IT DONE.
01 / SOUND FAMILIAR?LET’S START WITH THE MESS.
“It’s all in my head.”
Or in six WhatsApp chats. Or with the one person who’s just gone on holiday.
When you’re managing a project, a team or a business, getting through the day tends to come first. Writing down how it all works comes later. Sometimes much later.
That’s where I come in.
I work out what’s happening, what’s missing and what would actually help. Then I make the process, document or plan you can put to work.
Listen. Understand what’s happening.Untangle. Find what needs fixing.Make. Put something useful in place.
02 / WAYS WE CAN WORK TOGETHERTHOUGHT THROUGH. FOLLOWED THROUGH.
01
Operations
Make the everyday less improvised.
A shift that hands over properly. A new starter who knows what to do. A process that doesn’t depend on one person remembering everything.
For agreed operational, administrative or writing tasks. We’ll set the priorities and hours together.
04 / WHERE I’M COMING FROMREAL SHIFTS. REAL PEOPLE. REAL PROBLEMS.
I’ve been on the other side of the desk.
HOLY MORDI / THE PERSON BEHIND THE PROCESS
My background is in hotel and hostel operations, including working as a General Manager.
Staffing, recruitment, training, housekeeping, reception, suppliers, maintenance, purchasing and guest experience. I know that a process has to work on a busy shift, with real people using it.
An LLB sharpened my research, writing and structured thinking. Teaching English internationally taught me how to explain things clearly and adapt to different people.
I’m particularly at home in hospitality and service businesses, and bring the same practical approach to individuals, teams and companies in other fields.
MY WAY OF WORKING
Understand the practical details. Think about the customer. Make it clear enough to use.
05 / FROM THINKING TO SOMETHING TANGIBLESELECTED PORTFOLIO SAMPLES
Less theory. More “here it is”.
These demonstration projects show how I organise information. They use sample scenarios, not paid-client case studies.
LEAD CASE STUDY / HOSPITALITY OPERATIONSFICTIONAL SCENARIO
The next shift shouldn’t have to guess.
A proposed operations reset for a fictional 30-bed hostel: fewer loose ends between reception, housekeeping and the next person on shift.
01 / THE MESS
Handovers in WhatsApp. Late arrivals handled differently. Room priorities unclear. New starters trained from memory. Complaints passed between shifts.
02 / THE DIAGNOSIS
The missing pieces are ownership, one shared record, clear escalation and a consistent way to confirm a task is complete.
03 / THE RESPONSE
A shift handover template, late-arrival SOP, room-priority checklist, new-starter sign-off and complaint escalation steps.
OPERATIONS / EXCEL01
Who’s doing what. What’s still outstanding.
A contractor register and invoice tracker for keeping dates, paperwork and follow-ups together. Fictional example records.
