What I'm looking for

I seek a role in a dynamic organization that values innovation, teamwork, and continuous learning.

I am an accomplished General Services Manager with extensive experience in managing gated community developments and coordinating various stakeholders. My role at Oropa Estates Ltd has honed my skills in property management, marketing, and customer care, allowing me to effectively lead teams and ensure high-quality service delivery.

With a background in education and finance, I have developed a strong analytical mindset that aids in budget preparation and financial reporting. My academic journey, culminating in a Master of Science in Economics, has equipped me with the knowledge to tackle complex economic issues and contribute to sustainable development initiatives.

I am passionate about fostering teamwork and adaptability in the workplace, and I thrive in environments that challenge me to learn and grow. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a dynamic organization that values innovation and collaboration.
