What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an administrative or practice coordination role where I can keep workflows organised, support clients and patients, and contribute practical financial and office administration skills.

I support busy medical and optometry practices with reception, appointments, patient records, billing, payments, prescriptions, and client communication.

At PCS Medical, I managed day-to-day patient and administrative support, maintained documentation in ELLE, requested medical reports, and reconciled petty cash.

Across Optic Edge, Sandra Stark Optometrist, and Vaalpark Optometrist, I handled medical aid benefits, claims, quotations, stock orders, banking preparation, and follow-ups using Optimax and Healthbridge.

I also bring broad financial and office administration experience from legal, ministry, retail, and clerical environments, including reconciliations, records, salaries, supplier orders, and Excel reporting.
