What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my organizational skills and offers opportunities for professional growth in a supportive environment.

I am an accomplished personal and administrative assistant with over five years of professional experience. I am well-known for my ability to meet, achieve, and exceed company objectives. My curiosity and persistence drive me to find innovative solutions to complex problems, making me a valuable asset to any team.

In my current role at Sobhoyisi Trading (PTY) LTD, I manage a variety of clerical tasks, including keeping inventory of company tools and materials, answering calls, and filing. I also handle customer and vendor follow-ups and assist the Marketing Director with travel arrangements and daily routines. My previous experience as an admin assistant at Sarago/Astral Group further honed my skills in organization and communication.
