Bongolethu Mtshabe
@bongolethumtshabe
Manager and receptionist with customer-service strength and environmental impact assessment knowledge.
What I'm looking for
I completed my BSc Biological Science and built strong academic grounding through coursework and honors, including areas like plant biotechnology, plant systematics, ethnobotany, and applied statistics. I’m motivated to apply what I’ve learned while continuing to grow professionally in a practical, results-focused environment.
In my recent role at a guesthouse, I’ve worked as a Manager and Receptionist while also supporting basic accounts and food preparation. I’ve handled front desk and guest reception duties, assisted with daily operations, and contributed to administration, cooking, and catering activities, supported by earlier customer-facing experience as a waitress and general cleaner.
I bring a dependable work ethic, good communication, and the ability to work under pressure. I also have Occupational Health and Safety exposure and Environmental Impact Assessment knowledge, and I value teamwork demonstrated through my long-term community and leadership involvement.
