What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a supportive environment that fosters growth and values teamwork.

I am a dedicated and hardworking professional with over 9 years of experience in the pathology industry, specializing as a Senior Credit Controller. My journey began at Pathcare Pathology, where I started as an administrator and quickly advanced through various training programs to enhance my skills. I pride myself on my exceptional communication abilities, which have allowed me to maintain strong relationships with clients and ensure smooth operations across multiple accounts.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to meet deadlines and work effectively under pressure, particularly in fast-paced environments like medical and fruit logistics. My proactive approach and attention to detail have been key to my success in managing debtor days and resolving issues efficiently. I am eager to contribute my expertise to a dynamic team that values hard work and continuous improvement.
