What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values hard work and offers growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated and hardworking individual with extensive experience in various service roles, including housekeeping, customer service, and independent contracting. My career has been characterized by my ability to work under tight schedules and in highly active environments, ensuring that I deliver quality results consistently. I pride myself on my excellent communication skills and my attention to detail, which have been instrumental in my success in roles ranging from a house manager to a polling clerk.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong skill set that includes effective multitasking, budget management, and a commitment to health and safety. My experience as an independent contractor has honed my transcription and translation abilities, allowing me to bridge communication gaps between English and Swahili speakers. I am also passionate about animal care, demonstrated through my responsibilities as a dog handler, where I ensured the health and safety of family pets.
