What I'm looking for

I seek opportunities that allow me to leverage my creativity and technical skills while fostering collaboration and growth.

I am a focused and hardworking individual dedicated to continuous learning and gaining experience. My journey began in data capturing at Avuxeni Construction, where I honed my skills in Microsoft Excel and developed a keen attention to detail. Capturing over 200 forms in a day taught me the importance of accuracy and efficiency in business operations.

Transitioning to tutoring, I helped primary school students excel in their studies, which enhanced my communication skills and patience. Currently, I work as an editor and videographer at Visual Magic, where I utilize Adobe software to create compelling visual content. My passion for creativity led me to launch Craft Oasis, specializing in custom rug designs, where I apply my management and marketing skills to grow my business.
