What I'm looking for

I’m seeking employment opportunities where I can contribute my experience, skills and practical business knowledge. I’m available to start immediately.

At ImveloSupport, I owned and operated a mining equipment rental business, overseeing sourcing, pricing and commercial administration. I coordinated rental requirements and equipment availability for mining clients and suppliers.

I prepared quotations and Sage invoices, followed up on accounts, and reviewed debtor and creditor records. I negotiated a signed acknowledgement of debt for an account that was 120 days overdue, and the balance was repaid under the agreed terms.

At Solar Seven Patented Technology, I coordinated office scheduling, customer correspondence and administrative follow-ups. Earlier, at Powerz-on Solar Systems, I prepared solar proposals and coordinated with the installation team for the Rynpark Retirement Village project involving more than 200 solar geysers.

Through Clean Projects NPO and freelance client work, I helped establish a digital presence, created promotional materials and social media content, built Wix websites, and edited videos in CapCut. I’m available to commence employment immediately and bring experience across commercial administration, sales support and digital communications.
